Last year Katie from Thyme for Cooking and Country Girl City Living organized Seasoned 25.09.2023 ** Eatings. I got a wonderful parcel with wild rice from Minnesota, which I hadn’t used until now. This week Katie hosts the 125th round of Weekend Herb Blogging 27.04.2021 **, a good occasion to use the wild rice in the end. I prepared a
Chicken Wild Rice Soup with Chives
The winter returned to Northern Germany, so this soup warms your soul, which craves for spring. The chives came from the freezer, but it is a must for today. It is said, you stay healthy the whole year if you eat chives in a soup at Maundy Thursday. The friars cultivated chives in their cloister garden as an agent against witchcraft. Now I am well guarded against anything.

Yum!
I love wild rice. It’s a bit expensive here, but it doesn’t take too much to make a big difference in a dish.
Na, dann wären wir ja schon mindestens zu zweit, was gesunde Blogger im kommenden Jahr angeht… ich wußte nicht, dass Schnittlauch diesen Einfluss hat, aber ich glaube jetzt einfach mal ganz fest daran ;-)
So eine Suppe könnte ich jetzt auch gebrauchen, hier regnet es in Strömen.
Ein schönes Fest wünsche ich Dir und Deinen Lieben.

Gorgeous Wild Rice soup, Ulrike. Don Byerly, himself would be impressed!
Hope you like the wild rice (we love it)
Should have read this yesterday so I could have found some chives…Drat!
I haven’t had wild rice in so long, but your lovely picture made me want to use some immediately. You didn’t say – did you like it?
