Gluten Free Cheesy Potato, Chicken and Wild Rice Chowder

Alex asked me the other week to make a new wild rice soup. He said he wanted it to be full of wild rice, no chicken and really cheesy. I said ok, and came up with this recipe! I wanted to combine several hearty ingredients to make a thick, chunky chowder that he would enjoy. I think you’ll like this recipe as much as we did!This is a seriously thick soup. Between the cheese and regular creaminess of a wild rice soup this ends up being SO creamy and thick! The chunky vegetables perfectly compliment the wild rice and potatoes. I used crumbled bacon in this recipe because I didn’t have any ham or beef chunks pre-prepared. Alex said he really enjoyed that, but he wouldn’t want it every time. I highly suggest using cubed ham if you have it on hand.[amd-yrecipe-recipe:153]
