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

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.

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.

CREAM OF TURKEY AND WILD RICE SOUP



Cream of Turkey and Wild Rice Soup image

Provided by Food Network

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Look for fresh, organic vegetables and high-quality turkey breast or thigh meat.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the vegetables to the pot, don't overcrowd it. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly and will make the soup more watery.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender but still have a little bit of a crunch: Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them until they are tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is finished cooking, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add salt, pepper, or other herbs and spices to taste.

Conclusion:

Cream of turkey with wild rice soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and is packed with flavor. This soup is also very easy to make and can be tailored to your own liking. Whether you like your soup thick or thin, creamy or chunky, this recipe can be easily adjusted to suit your taste.
