Yum! I've already made that Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup...fantastic! I saved a ton of these: My mother gave me her old Le Cruset dutch oven recently and I haven't really had a chance to use it. Plus I usually avoid the soups requiring an immersion blender but I realized I've had a crate + barrel gift card I'd been saving forever, for just the right thing. And they just so happen to have one of the ones I've been eyeing on sale with free shipping. Sold! :yahoo:
 
Going to give this one a try...:drool:
