Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

When snow is flying and the temperature dropping, consider serving this hearty and satisfying soup. Greek yogurt makes it tangy while cream lends a richness. Serve it with a crisp romaine salad and hearty whole grain bread. Next time, try the Northwoods variation which adds smoky ham pieces to the hot soup.
