Recipe Notes
I was going to substitute fat free evaporated milk for the half-and-half in this ham and wild rice soup, but after checking my Weight Watchers calculator and determining that it only decreased the calories per cup by 8, I decided it wasn’t worth it.
Hearty and delicious, Rod and I really enjoyed this soup for supper last night. It’s definitely a keeper.

It smelled great, but was rather bland for my taste. I added dried thyme, a bay leaf, garlic powder and chopped parsley. Absolutely improved it. Great recipe after holidays to eat lots of veges and use up the leftover ham.
Thanks Martha. I’ve add the link for Personal Points.
Looks yummy, making it tonight. Will you be adding the link to calculate WW “My Personal Points”?
I had a can of cream of celery that I needed to use and found this recipe. Wow! This is hearty, filling and tasty! I couldn’t find any wild rice during the pandemic, so I used a box of wild rice mix. It worked great. I added no salt seasoning and sriracha at the table. I like a flavor blast. this is more like a chowder than a soup there is so much “stuff” in it. We’ll make it again!
The recipe tells you to add in the “evaporated milk”. However, evaporated milk is not in the list of ingredients. I am assuming that is when you would add the half and half or milk?
Hi Wendy, thanks for letting me know. I’ve corrected it to read half and half.
This soup was a huge hit with my family. Will definitely be making it again!
This sounds like a winner. Were the nutritional facts calculated with reduced fat soup and fat free half and half?
Hi Vicky,
We really liked it! No, the points were calculated with regular cream of celery soup (I haven’t found a fat free version of it in my stores. You could use fat free cream of mushroom instead.) and regular half and half. The difference between regular half-and-half and fat free evaporated milk (I don’t tend to buy the fat free half and half) was less than 8 calories per serving and not enough to lower the Points Plus value. Hope this helps.
