Wild rice chowder looks complicated, but once you start cooking it's just a matter of adding ingredients as the soup cooks. Try serving it with onion scones fresh out of the oven. Drizzle it with some basil pesto for even more flavor. This hearty soup can also be made ahead of time. Just make it as the recipe directs, then refrigerate it up to 3 days. To serve, just reheat in a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently, until the soup simmers. You may need to add some more chicken broth or half and half to get to the desired consistency if you are reheating the chowder.
