Clam and Wild Rice Soup

Clam and Wild Rice Soup started off as clam chowder but after the addition of cooked wild rice it was transformed into this super delicious soup. Don’t let the long list of ingredients scare you off. I need all the blog followers I can get here!! Plus, you might hurt yourself running in the other direction:) Instead, read through the ingredients more closely. Many of the ingredients you no doubt have on hand. Canned clams?? I know what your thinking, but they work great in this recipe. Promise.
