This comforting chicken and rice soup features fresh asparagus and wild rice. This recipe is lower in potassium because we used almond milk instead of regular milk, so this is great for people managing kidney disease or otherwise on a potassium-restricted diet. If you do not need to limit potassium, you could use regular nonfat milk in this recipe.
