Turkey Chowder with Wild Rice, Crimini and Pancetta


We were feeling a little gloomy the other night - uninspired by anything in the fridge. Then - in a stroke of genius, B remembered a soup I had made just after Thanksgiving that we found on epicurious. I didn't have turkey on hand, but I did have some leftover roasted chicken which worked perfectly. 

They call this a Turkey Chowder and it is definitely hearty. I lightened it up by cutting the butter way down and substituting half and half instead of heavy cream. Serve with a green salad and a crunchy baguette - and you'll be in heaven!
