About The Recipe

This soup was inspired by one of my all-time favorite dishes: Hawaiian haystacks.

Hawaiian haystacks, as the name suggests, consists of a base of white rice, with a creamy chicken sauce – and lots and lots of toppings.

The soup is reminiscent of the Hawaiian haystack sauce. I added some wild rice to the soup, foregoing the white rice, which doesn’t always work well in soups.

The best part of Hawaiian haystacks is what you put on top. And the same goes for this soup: Mandarin oranges add sweetness. Almonds and celery add crunch. Red onion adds a fresh bite.
