  This is a family favorite! And it’s SO easy, just make some rice, open a few cans and dump!  Creamy, hearty and delicious!

Ingredients

• 1 box (6 Oz) Uncle Bens Long Grain Rice, Cooked According To Package
• 1 package (5.4 Oz) Lipton’s Mushroom Rice, Cooked According To Packet
• 1 cup Diced Onion
• 2 cups Diced Celery
• 2 packages (3 Oz Each) Real Bacon Pieces
• 2 containers fresh sliced mushrooms
• 2 cans (10.75 Oz. Can) organic Potato Soup (Wolfgang puck is really good)
• 1 can (10.75 Oz. Can) Cream Of Celery
• 1 can (10.75 Oz. Can) organic Cream Of Mushroom
• 2 cans (10.75 Oz. Can) Chicken Broth 
• 2 cups Shredded Cheese
• 1 quart Half-and-half

Cook rice according to directions on the packages; set aside. Sautee mushrooms, onions and celery in the bottom of a large pot (8-quart pot) over medium heat. Add all remaining ingredients (including the cooked rice) to the pot except the half-and-half. Heat through. Remove from heat and add half-and-half. Then place back on the stovetop over medium-low heat and warm until serving. Don’t boil or this soup will curdle. Makes a nice BIG batch!

Tastes best with a loaf of crusty French bread with an herb and garlic butter. Oh man, is it good together!

Dig in!
