I lived in Edina, MN for 20 years and it is one of my favorites. I have wild rice from Lunds that someone from MN gave me for a gift. I am going to make it this weekend even if it will be 90 outside! Thanks for the post!!!

Is this a mix of long grain and wild rice? The wild rice I can find is a dark brown in color. The photo looks like it includes some long grain or another rice.

No it is just the long grain dark Minnesota wild rice, not a blend. Depending on where you are from, you may have to go to a specialty food store. It is worth searching for it because the texture is so chewy and nice. I grew up on this soup and when Stacy posted it I was so excited! Hope you enjoy it Anne.
