Looked in my fridge and realized I had about 4 cups of leftover white and wild rice that wasn't going to get eaten this week. I threw this recipe together within minutes:
1 yellow onion, chopped 4 stalks celery, chopped 2 carrots, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 bay leaves 2 quarts chicken stock 3 chicken breasts, cubed 1/4 cup dry parsley 1 cup green onions 1/4 cup white wine (optional) 4 cups white and wild rice, cooked 2 tsp paprika 2 tsp cayenne pepper salt, pepper to taste
In some oil, sautee onion, celery, and carrots until soft. Add garlic and bay leaves cook for 2 more minutes. Add wine if ya like that and reduce for 3 minutes. Add stock and bring to boil. Add paprika and cayenne. Cook for 10 minutes then add chicken and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 7 minutes. Add parsley and green onions and simmer for 4 more minutes. Add rice and turn of fire. Salt and pepper to taste.

It might be summer, but there's always room for a good soup!
