Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Place the wild rice in a saucepan, cover with boiling water, and simmer over medium-low heat for 45 to 50 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

2. Meanwhile, cook the ground Italian sausage and diced onion in a large soup pot over medium heat for about 10 minutes, breaking up the meat, until the sausage reaches 160°F (71°C) inside and the onion is soft. Drain off excess fat.

3. Stir the cream of potato soup, cream of chicken soup, milk, and evaporated milk into the pot. Reduce the heat to low.

4. Add the cubed processed cheese and stir slowly until fully melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Keep the heat low so the soup does not scorch.

5. Stir in the cooked wild rice and heat through gently for about 5 minutes before serving.
