Notes

If you use a wild-brown rice blend other than Lundberg, it may not be cooked through at 4 hours. If that's the case, shred the chicken then keep in the refrigerator until the rice is tender, and then stir into soup before serving.
Do not use straight brown rice, or straight wild rice for this recipe. It was developed to use a brown rice-wild rice blend.
