Best soup ever
Review byScott
I'm a huge soup fan. I could live on the stuff, and plan to. This wild rice soup surprised me as being the most satisfying, wholesome soup ever, and no pasta. After adding your choice of stock and spice you will enjoy awesome, high quality soup.

Great Base
Review byIvy
Good soup base. Added cinnamon, fennel seed, star anise, and cloves, a spritz of blueberry bbq sauce then added corn chowder with pork hock flavoring. Love that it's not salty!

Excellent
Review byAlissa
For the 1 lb bag, i used water, added a large can of cream of mushroom soup, chicken, and some minced garlic. My husband and I, and my in-laws absolutely loved it. My in-laws especially appreciated it because it was not salty and said that it was the first time anyone made soup where they didn't feel they had to drink a gallon of water afterwards. My husband added salt to his, and he was just as happy. I just placed another order, and I think I will add mushrooms to the next batch. P.S...The soup freezes great!

Creamy Wild Rice and Mushroom Soup
Review byLara
I made this soup today in my InstaPot. I put 8 cups of vegetable broth into pot along w a smoked pork hock for the smoke flavor. I then added 2 cups of the rice mix and put pot on soup for 45 minutes. After it was done I removed the pork and and added a mix of 1/2 corn starch to 2 cups milk blended in my blender. I also added 1 can Campbell’s cream of chicken and mushroom soup. Along w this I added 8 oz of mushrooms. After adding all this into the soup I put my IP on for 1 more minute and TaDa stir it all together and wow it was great. The pork hock just have it a smoked flavor which was great. And we are huge mushroom fans here. But I will forever keep these this soup on hand, I’m sold, it is great!!

Wonderful soup!
Review byEP
Made this delicious soup for the first time 2 days ago. Made it simply - with just broth then salt & pepper. Delicious and complex in flavor. (I’d read that it’s a good soup the 2nd day.) I like tomatoes in soup, so after thinking about if for the 2nd day added: tomatoes (or Rotel if you like things things spicier.), bay leaves, a wee bit more dried veggies- garlic, onion, cabbage, celery, carrots and green beans. Added just a bit of spice - 3/4 tsp sage, about 1 tsp thyme, maybe a half teaspoon rosemary, adjusted the S & P, added more water, and finally about half pound ground turkey. Oh my goodness!! Fabulous and totally different! I love the textures and especially the wild rice. For the 3rd version I’m curious to try something different and creamy. It was suggested above to add a cream soup. So i’ll try DIY Cream of Soup (1 recipe cream of chicken, and 1 recipe cream of mushroom) and leftover turkey or chicken. After Thanksgiving I canned the extra meat and bone broth I made, so perhaps that could be added. This is wonderful for a meal you don’t need to get groceries for. I made note on a recipe card. So far both recipes I’ve tried were company worthy. I’ve no doubt this soup is great however it’s prepared! Most delicious “mix” I’ve ever tried!

Non GMO is great! But.
Review bySuez
This soup looks great, and I would love to try it. I'm so pleased it is non GMO, but it's not organic, which means the ingredients in it may have been sprayed with products that are toxin. So, in that case, would they really be NON GMO??? Just saying.

Review byKC
I love this wild rice soup. It's really good made with chicken broth and eaten vegetarian, or made with a roux mixed in when it's done with chicken or cooked breakfast sausage added after the roux. This one is my favorite! The other soups are really good too.

Easy and great
Review byCarmen
I am very fond of soup, and as I live alone, I have a hard time with vegetables which spoil before they are used up. This is a wonderful solution and takes such little time to prepare. I plan to give a pack to a friend who is 90 and her husband is 99. He has problems with his teeth, so this should be a winner, plus the ease of preparation on her part. We who are "senior" and live alone need the nutrition without the fuss. This is a winner all around! Oh yes, I forgot to mention that it tastes great.

A delicious addition to any kitchen
Review bykeden7
This soup is delicious, nutritious and extremely handy to have around on the shelf when one has a busy home/work life. A coworker and I chipped in and bought a couple of bags together to save on shipping costs and we weren't disappointed. I have some in a Pyrex for lunch today. Just threw in some fresh veggies, herbs and spices. I can't eat this well going out for lunch at a restaurant! Never mind that it's entirely delicious...

OMG AMAZING
Review bysunshine
I bought this because my family loves this type of soup. i have three grown children with discerning taste. They have all told me this is the go to soup. The finished product with my editions tasted like Panera Bread Chicken and wild rice soup.
Here you go 1 cup of the soup mix to the 8 parts water
I added two can of condensed cream of mushroom
2 cans of cream of chicken
2 cans of canned chicken breast
It simmers so long that you can not taste the canned taste in the chicken.
You must make this one day in advance because it will thicken to the consistency of Amazing hearty soup. A little too thin for us the first day. Buy a lot I have already made it three times because they keep telling everyone they should try it.
This is also a family business not some huge corporation!

The best soup
Review byDale
I just purchased this wild rice soup because of it being so healthy, and not really knowing what to expect for flavor. This soup is a true gift from heaven. I have never enjoyed any soup that tasted this good. I put it into my rice maker and set the timer , and what a surprise, a real full flavor soup and very healthy as a plus. I will be maintaining this product in my pantry from now on.

Best Soup Mix Ever!
Review bySherbear
I found this wild rice soup mix the first time in a restaurant in northern Wisconsin and bought 2 pkg. just to try. Then I purchases some more as my family really liked this soup. I ended up giving all my brothers and sisters a pkg. for Christmas in their gift bag from me. They are raving about it! So, again, I need to order more to share. I personally like it as a chicken wild rice soup, so I add chicken and a cream soup, but any additional vegetables also add flavor, but are not needed. So keep making this product, please!

Review byI.S. in Texas
I have been eating this soup mix for several years. It truly is phenomenal. Hearty, tasty and healthy. I was thrilled to find this website and be able to order a 5 lb bag. I cook it in chicken broth and add chicken and minced garlic for a hearty thick soup/stew. Turkey would be an excellent alternative. At Thanksgiving I like to cook only foods that were available at the time of the original Thanksgiving feast. This soup mix will be on the table this year as a side dish, probably cooked in turkey broth and with some sliced mushrooms added. I really like this website too and can't wait to devote some time to checking out all the other products.

Review byLes
I enjoyed this soup very much. I added various root vegetables and some spices to the mix. The liquid was vegetable broth. The cooking time was fast. I enjoyed the fact that it is low sodium and vegan. I made enough to enjoy for a couple of days. I will purchase this wild rice soup again when I run out.

Best Thing Going!
Review byCaz
We have been out of work for over a year in our household. All the same we still put in an order for goods from North Bay Trading. We know we are getting good wholesome food and there will be no waste. The Wild Rice Soup is one of our favorite items. We can make just as much as we need and being dried the rest keeps well for a long time. And it tastes wonderful. As if that weren't enough, North Bay has the kind of customer service that you can't find too easily any more these days. Friendly, kind, helpful. I can't say enough about the company and their products. Thanks North Bay!

Review bymamacass65
Every time I get this as a gift from my mom and dad who own a cabin up in Outing, MN - I am like Pavlov's dog. (drool, drool) Good as a vegetarian soup, turkey and chicken wild rice soup, as well. Perfect after Thanksgiving with your leftover turkey stock and turkey. I add rotel tomatoes, basil, garlic, carrots, celery, onions, a bay leaf and salt and pepper. Perfect winter meal, even in Tennessee!
