*You tin build this yourself but I used a packet of microwaveable wild rice from Target (store brand) in addition to added it to the pot straight from the packet without heating it up.


My thoughts:
We don't ever pick out ham on Christmas (this twelvemonth my parents are making corned beef in addition to cabbage?) but ham is ever a slap-up bargain this fourth dimension of twelvemonth then I usually terminate upward buying at to the lowest degree i pocket-sized one. I bought a tiny boneless spiral sliced ham from Aldi that was tasty but it wasn't cutting all the means through! Very odd. I ended upward having to form of cutting around the middle to build pocket-sized slices (I could pick out exactly completed the cuts but I actually didn't postulate giant slices) in addition to it left a large chunk of barely cutting ham inwards the middle. Perfect for soup! 

This soup is perfect for using upward odds in addition to ends then experience gratuitous to tweak it. I had delicata squash, which doesn't postulate to last peeled but butternut would piece of job besides if you lot peel it. Parsnips would last expert inwards house of all or i of the carrots in addition to I actually wanted to operate celery but mine went mysteriously moldy overnight. I've been trying to operate dark-green onions (scallions) to a greater extent than similar vegetables lately then I cutting them into nearly 1/2 inch pieces rather than finely. The packet of wild rice I refer inwards the banker's complaint to a higher house is actually a game-changer when it comes to wild rice. It isn't 100% every bit expert every bit when I larn inwards myself but it is super quick in addition to honestly, I don't intend most people could nation the difference. I exactly add together it straight from the pouch to soups similar this or I estrus inwards a pan inwards a piffling H2O earlier adding it to other dishes. Wild rice adds such a savory, nutty season to dishes that I beloved in addition to goes slap-up amongst other rigid flavors similar smoky ham in addition to squash.
