What's for dinner?

It's such a great night for soup.  I'm looking for tried and true amazing recipes, if you have such a recipe that you'd like to share-please comment below! :) 

Here's the soup recipe I made for super tonight; our family loves it! You may want to give it a try. The recipe is from Betty Crocker, but added to that recipe is chicken breast.  Annnnd, I don't use mushrooms (I still don't have that mature-taste acquired yet, I suppose).  Enjoy!



Wild Rice Soup
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 medium stalks celery, sliced (1 cup)
1 medium carrot, coarsely shredded (1 cup)
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 small green bell pepper, chopped (1/2 cup
1/4 cup Original Bisquick® or Bisquick Heart Smart® mix
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, if desired
1 cup water
1 can (10 1/2 oz) condensed chicken broth
1 1/2 cups canned or frozen cooked wild rice
1 cup half-and-half
1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
chicken brest
  1. In 3-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add celery, carrot, onion and bell pepper; cook about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
  2. Stir in Bisquick mix, salt, pepper and thyme. Stir in water, broth and wild rice. Heat to boiling, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in half-and-half, chicken, almonds and parsley. Heat just until hot (do not boil).
