Famous Dave's Wild Rice Soup

I got this recipe from my cousin who made it for our christmas party this year. I don't usually like soups with rice in them but i could not believe how good this was! Don't forget the almonds, it's not the same without em! note: the wild rice takes about 45 minutes to cook.
