By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 6 large hard rolls or Kaiser rolls (4 to 5 inches in diameter)
• 2 cans (18 oz each) Progresso™ Recipe Starters™ creamy roasted garlic with chicken stock cooking sauce
• 1 1/2 cups cubed deli rotisserie chicken

• 1 can (15 oz) cooked wild rice, drained
• Toasted sliced or slivered almonds

Preparation

Step 1

Cut thin 3-inch round slice from tops of rolls. Remove bread from inside of each roll, leaving 1/2-inch shell on side and bottom. Reserve tops and trimmings for another use.

In 2-quart saucepan, heat cooking sauce, chicken, ham and wild rice to boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat low; simmer 10 minutes to blend flavors, stirring occasionally.

Fill soup bowls one-third full with soup. Place rolls on top of soup. Spoon additional soup into cavity of rolls, allowing some to overflow into bowls. Top each serving with almonds and chives.
