Ingredients

• ¼ cup chopped onion
• 1 pound bacon
• ¼ cup chopped celery
• 1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
• ¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
• 1 (6 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
• ½ cup wild rice
• Water, as needed
• 3 (10.75 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
• 2 chicken breasts, cut into chunks

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels.

Step 2

Crumble bacon into a large pot; add cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, chicken, mushrooms, wild rice, onion, celery, and bell pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer until the rice is completely tender, about 2 hours. Stir water into the soup as needed to keep it from being too thick.
