Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

⅔ cup uncooked wild rice
2 cups water
6 tablespoons butter
¼ cup finely chopped onion
¼ cup finely chopped celery
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
4 cups turkey broth
⅓ cup shredded carrot
2 cups chopped cooked turkey
½ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
¼ cup chopped slivered almonds
½ teaspoon lemon juice
¾ cup half-and-half cream

Steps:

  • Bring the wild rice and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender but not mushy, 40 to 45 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid, fluff the rice with a fork, and cook uncovered 5 minutes more. Set the cooked rice aside.
  • Melt the butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion and celery until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, and cook until it turns a pale yellowish-brown color, 3 to 5 minutes. Gradually whisk in the turkey stock until no lumps of flour remain. Stir in the carrot. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook, whisking constantly, until the stock is thick and smooth and the carrot is tender, about 2 more minutes.
  • Stir in the wild rice, turkey, salt, pepper, and almonds. Return to a simmer, and cook 2 more minutes to heat the ingredients. Stir in the lemon juice and half-and-half; bring the soup almost to a boil, and serve hot.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced 1/4 inch thick
3 leeks (white and light green parts only), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
3 carrots, sliced 1/4 inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Zest of 1 lemon (removed in wide strips with a vegetable peeler), plus 2 teaspoons lemon juice
3 bay leaves (preferably fresh)
12 ounces cooked turkey (white and dark meat; skin removed), cut into cubes (about 3 cups)
1 cup wild rice blend
6 cups baby spinach (about 7 1/2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring once or twice, until well browned, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cook until melted. Add the leeks and carrots and season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the thyme and stir to combine. Add the chicken broth, lemon zest, bay leaves and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium to maintain a simmer. Add the turkey and wild rice; simmer until the rice is just tender, 13 to 15 minutes.

CREAM OF TURKEY AND WILD RICE SOUP

Categories     main-dish

Time 24m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups sliced mushrooms (about 4 ounces)
3/4 cup chopped celery
3/4 cup chopped carrots
1/4 cup chopped shallots
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup quick-cooking or instant wild rice (see Ingredient Note)
3 cups shredded cooked turkey or chicken (12 ounces; see Tip)
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • This is a healthier twist on a classic creamy turkey and wild rice soup that hails from Minnesota. Serve with a crisp romaine salad and whole-grain bread.
  • 1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, celery, carrots and shallots and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add flour, salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more.
  • 2. Add broth and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Add rice and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until the rice is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in turkey (or chicken), sour cream and parsley and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes more.
  • TIP: Ingredient note: Quick-cooking or instant wild rice has been parboiled to reduce the cooking time. Conventional wild rice takes 40 to 50 minutes to cook. Be sure to check the cooking directions when selecting your rice-some brands labeled "quick" take about 30 minutes to cook. If you can't find the quick-cooking variety, just add cooked conventional wild rice along with the turkey at the end of Step 2.
  • Tip: To poach chicken breasts, place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a medium skillet or saucepan. Add lightly salted water to cover and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes.

  • Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the soup. This will help to caramelize them and bring out their flavor.

  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
