A little leftover rice can go a long way in bringing together a simple soup that makes a satisfying meal for cold weather. Wild rice provides a nice texture and visual interest, but if you what you’ve got leftover is brown or even white, those will serve well too.

Tip: If you don’t want to use wine in your cooking, you can replace the wine in this with an equal amount of broth. If you want to make this vegetarian or vegan, mushroom broth is a good alternative to chicken broth here.
