Wild Rice and Mushroom Soup with Chicken Recipe

There's something about a big bowl of hot soup that just makes me feel good inside. This particular recipe, if prepared correctly, would be quite nutritious and filling. Fresh mushrooms are one of natures super foods. Wild rice is much better than white or fried rice if you need to watch your blood-sugar level. Brown rice may be another alternative in that case.

The down side to this recipe is the sodium and cholesterol. If these two guilty pleasures are a problem for your health, there are alternatives. Replace the chicken with tofu or Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP). TVP is generally available in health food stores or from Amazon. There's probably a small selection of "fake" meats in your local grocery store in the frozen foods section.

As for the sodium, which is mostly from the chicken broth, look for low sodium broth (any flavor). Also the more colorful the vegetables, the better they are for you.
