“A most delicious soup, and if you add extra chicken, a very filling and satisfying meal. I can’t help but add more rice, onions, etc., so I end up with a BIG pot of soup. I have never had anything but raves about this soup!”

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

* 3 (10.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
* 2 cups water
* 1/2 cup wild rice
* 1/2 cup chopped green onions
* 1/2 cup butter

* 3/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
* 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 2 cups heavy cream
* 2 cups cubed, cooked chicken meat
* 1 (4 ounce) jar sliced pimento peppers, drained
