    The egg is a thickener, like with custard sauce. I omitted the creamer and salt, skinned the chicken, made my own broth, added garlic and celery, used corn starch for gluten free version...This was good. - 5/16/08

    I think I will tweek it, gives me something to work with.
    Thanks! I agree with a few of the comments; I'm going to leave out the dairy and make it gluten free! Corn starch it is and no skin on the chicken :D

    I think the salt issue is a type O.I don't see anything in this recipe that would have near that much sodium.The 2 changes I would make is to skin the chicken and use 2 egg whites or egg substitute in place of whole egg's.Hope this thought helps......Chef Jim - 5/16/08

    Typo for the coffee creamer. Not 1/8 tsp. Shoud be 8 teaspoons. IF you open the "View full nutritional breakdown of Chicken and Wild Rice Soup calories by ingredient", it lists PER SERVING: 10 calories for Coffee Mate cream (1 tsp.) Other than a typo, very nice dish.

    makes me think of that "dumb' Maurice Sendak book "chicken soup with rice- a book of months" - 5/12/11

    I'm going to try it, but definately with some alterations. Sodium has to be an error and I think the other comments have actually improved the recipe. I'd be interested to see what the recipe numbers are with the alerations. - 5/12/11

    add celery to the onion and carrot and saute to make a mirapois before adding the other ingredients I use buttermilk instead of the evaporated milk and non dairy creamer - 5/12/11

    This was a very good soup. Filling and tasty. I left out the additional salt, since broth usually has more than enough. Also left out the creamer. Used a wild rice/brown rice mix, too. Will definitely put this in the recipe box. - 4/14/11

    I'm puzzled by the tiny 1/8 teaspoon of coffee creamer. How would this smidgeon of creamer affect this soup? - 4/9/11

    would use low sodium broth or homemade broth with even less sodium (and leave out the salt.) Otherwise, sounds very good - 5/16/08

    The sodium content is way to high, not good for your heart. - 5/16/08

    I will try this in my crock pot -- but without the last 4 ingredients at all! I would rather have a "clear" broth. - 5/16/08

    well I made my chicken broth myself with the chicken pieces and left out the egg and the nondairy coffee creamer not sure why the egg and creamer were needed but it is good without them
