Byerly's is a high-end local grocery chain. Complete with
chandeliers, last time I shopped at one. They sell this soup fresh at
their stores, and frozen in many other stores. It's GOOD! Especially
on extremely cold days like many of us are experiencing now.

I've had this recipe in my collection for quite some time. I agree it's
very nice! Unfortunately, I can't find wild rice here in SC. Not even the
overly expensive tiny boxed stuff! I'm not supposed to eat it anymore,
anyway. Damn, I miss wild rice soup!
