Salmon-Wild Rice Soup

 Brenda (New Jersey) says:
Delicious. However, there is NO bubbly after adding flour mixture to veggies. I also added 3 cups of lo-sodium chicken broth instead of the concentrate as I felt it needed to be a bit more soupy. Don't forget to add some black pepper and perhaps a pinch of coarse salt.

This soup is very good, but I use a fresh Salmon Filet cut in chunks, also I use chicken broth not concentrate and I add more than this recipe calls for (one of the 32 once boxes). I use smokey slab bacon, 1 small Jalapeņo pepper 1 small can of corn or a couple of handfuls of frozen corn and fresh shiitake mushrooms. Its a very good recipe just adjust it to your taste.

I just made this exact recipe from my 1986 version of Betty Cocker's Cookbook. I used a 32 oz carton of chicken stock instead. For the bacon, l bought a bottle of 'Real Bacon Pieces' not bits from the salad dressing section of the grocery store. This soup was yummy! It was also worthwhile to prepare a package of wild rice and use a cup from the three cups that it made. Forgot how good wild rice is!
