Found this recipe in a magazine & it has been a favorite of mine for a few years now. My kids can't get enough of it. I did substitute the veggie broth for chicken because I like the flavor better. I also double the recipe because I like leftovers.

How To Make wild rice & fish soup

Step 1

Thaw fish, if frozen. (Any kind of mild fish can be used that you like). Cut into 1 inch pieces & set aside.

Step 2

Rinse wild rice, lifting up your fingers to clean throughly; drain. In small saucepan, bring water to boil. Stir in wild rice & reduce heat. Cover & simmer 40-50 minutes or until rice is tender & split open. If needed, drain liquid & set rice aside.
Step 3

In large saucepan or dutch oven, cook celery, onion & garlic in butter or bacon grease over medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until just tender. Stir in broth, potato, lemon juice & old bay seasoning. Bring to boil & then reduce heat to simmer. Cover & cook 10-15 minutes or until potato is tender.
Step 4

Stir in fish, cooked wild rice & bacon. Return to boiling & reduce heat to a simmer. Cover & cook 2 to 3 minutes or until fish is cooked through. Stir in cream, thyme, basil & parsley. (You can use dried here but remember to cut back on amount as it is stronger when dried). Heat soup but do not boil. And eat :)
