Wild Rice And Ham Soup Lower Fat

---

A tweaked version of byerley's wild rice soup (from the minneapolis, mn grocery store's cookbook). I wanted less fat and came up with this. After christmas, i use left-over ham. After thanksgiving, i substitute left-over turkey - probably even less fat with turkey!!
