Oyster and Wild Rice Soup is fabulously creamy and rich. It’s like a southern Oyster Stew but with a few more ingredients. The wild rice makes it a little heartier and there’s also corn and smokey bacon.

 
Oysters are in season now. If it is a month that ends in “R”, it’s a good month for oysters. Oyster Stew is a popular recipe for the holidays in the South and this Oyster and Wild Rice Soup is perfect for the holidays or a chilly night.
Fresh shucked oysters should be easy to find this time of year in grocery stores. They come in a jar or a plastic container and can be found near the fresh seafood.

 
Oyster and Wild Rice Soup is quick and easy to prepare. This version takes a little longer because you have to cook some wild rice first. I use a boxed wild rice mix. The kind that has a seasoning pacaket. I add the seasoning to the rice as it cooks and it adds extra flavor to the soup. You don’t want to overcook the oysters. They will cook very, very quickly and they will continue to cook in the soup after you turn the heat off.
