MINNESOTA WILD RICE SOUP



Minnesota Wild Rice Soup image

This is THE BEST Wild Rice Soup recipe! I have eaten a many cups, bowls, gallons of this soup from many places in Minnesota and this is by far the best and it took a lot of work to get this. Story is I worked for a large company that would make this soup maybe once a month, if I was lucky and got to the place before they ran...

Provided by Barbara Kavorkian

Categories     Other Main Dishes

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 c celery
11/2 c diced onion
11/2 c diced carrot (about 3)
1 lb cooked diced chicken (about 1 3/4 - 2 cups)
4 c chicken stock (can be made if using a whole chicken, make fresh stock if you wish)
4 c heavy cream or milk
1/2 lb uncooked wild rice (1 1/4 cups)
4 c water
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 c flour
1/2 c butter
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. In a large soup pot, add water and bring to boil. Add rice and cook until tender. Remove rice from the pot, drain and set a side. See basic cooking instructions for Wild Rice below.
  • 2. In the same pot, on medium high heat, add oil and vegetables and saute for 5 minutes. Add stock and chicken and cook for 20 additional minutes at medium low heat.
  • 3. Add rice back, heavy cream or milk and heat for 5 minutes.
  • 4. In a separate pot, melt butter and whisk in flour to make a roux. Add this mix a little at a time to thicken the soup. The roux must cook for at least 20 minutes.
  • 5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • 6. NOTE: Wild Rice Cooking-- its a 1 cup rice per 3 cups liquid. For THIS recipe it would be 1/2c rice to 1 1/2 c liquid. Follow these instructions on basic cooking method for wild rice. Wash rice thoroughly by running it under cold water in a strainer. Add rice to boiling liquid in a heavy saucepan or pot. Reduce heat and simmer covered for 35-50 minutes (about 45 minutes or so) or until kernels puff open. Then, uncover, fluff with a fork and simmer 5 more minutes and drain off excess fluid. If you like chewier rice, cook for less time. If you cannot find wild rice where you are, you can go online and purchase it, or check to see if your local grocery store would be able to order it for you. It has a very nutty and earthy taste I am sure you will love. Try it in your holiday dressing, hot dishes and more. If buying chicken stock rather than using fresh, buy low sodium or no salt so you can control the sodium in the soup. If you do not like thickened soup, you do not need the roux as the rice does thicken up the soup by itself.

MINNESOTA REAL WILD RICE STUFFING



Minnesota Real Wild Rice Stuffing image

The nutty flavor of wild rice makes a great combo with dried apricots, pine nuts, and traditional ingredients. I combined some recipes and the result was eagerly consumed. When I made this I fully cooked the rice. This is a forgiving and flexible recipe. There are so many different things to add or substitute: walnuts, almonds, orange zest, dried cranberries, mushrooms, more bread, whatever you prefer.

Everyone really enjoys this salad; it features wild rice, chicken, and cashews along with plump juicy red grapes.

SARASOTA'S MINNESOTA TURKEY, MUSHROOM AND WILD RICE SOUP



Sarasota's Minnesota Turkey, Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup image

This was a classic growing up. A little creamy, all fresh ingredients, mushrooms from a local farmer, and wild rice from a friend who was from MN, but rented one of our cottages every summer and always brought tons of MN Wild Rice. Now if you don't have turkey leftovers (which I almost always do), use chicken which will work just fine. But there is something about the turkey that is just perfect with this. If I don't have leftover turkey, I often buy a small turkey breast just so I can make this soup, and use the rest for sandwiches. And no turkey stock? ... chicken stock or broth is fine. Just don't skimp on a few things. 1) Sherry wine, 2) REAL wild rice, 3) fresh vegetables and, mushrooms, and; 4) fresh herbs. It just isn't the same otherwise. I can have just a bowl of this for dinner or it makes a great starter, or wonderful with just a salad or grilled sandwich.

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 bowls of soup, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups cooked turkey, diced (you can substitute chicken)
1 1/3 cups wild rice, uncooked
4 cups mushrooms, thin sliced (I use a mix of cremini, button, shitaki, morel, etc. Just don't use one, mix it up)
2 large sweet onions, cut in quarters and thin sliced (2 cups)
1 leek, thin sliced
1 small fennel bulb, cut in half and thin sliced
1 1/2 cups celery including celery leaves, thin sliced
3 teaspoons minced garlic
6 cups turkey broth, more if you like the soup a bit thinner (chicken is fine)
1/2 cup sherry wine
3/4-1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, fine chopped
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, fine chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, fine chopped
2 tablespoons butter
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Soup Base -- In a large pot, melt the butter and add the leeks, onions, celery, fennel and garlic and cook on medium heat until slightly translucent and soft. About 5 minutes.
  • Rice -- Add the rice right to the vegetable mixture and stir until well combined - then add the broth (start with 5 cups; you can always add more as the rice cooks), thyme, rosemary, worcestershire and bay leaf. Cover and cook on low heat (simmer) approximately 30 minutes until the rice is somewhat tender. Once again, taste for seasoning (salt and pepper) and add more broth if necessary. It depends on how thin or thick you like your soup. The soup still has a bit more time to cook which will allow the rice to finish cooking.
  • Mushrooms -- At this point, add the sherry wine and mushrooms and continue to cook another 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the mushrooms are soft.
  • Finish -- Everything is done - Now to finish off the soup. First, add in the turkey or chicken; and add the heavy cream to the soup. Increase the heat to medium and bring to a light boil and then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes. Stir and add in any additional seasoning if necessary and the fresh parsley.
  • Serve -- My favorite way to serve this is with a toasted baguette with melted gruyere cheese. Now, if you happen to have truffle oil -- drizzle a little on top, it is heaven. Can't get much better than that! ENJOY!

MINNESOTA WILD RICE BEER CHEESE SOUP RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Minnesota Wild Rice Beer Cheese Soup Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-12910

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup cooked wild rice
4 tbsps butter (you can use olive oil instead--this is for sauteing the veggies)
1 onion, yellow or white, diced
1 cup grated carrot
1 cup diced celery
1 cup broccoli florets (can used frozen)
4 cups chicken stock
2 jars Kraft Old English Cheese spread (substitute 12 oz of Velveeta for a cheaper option)
1 lb diced cooked ham or chicken
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp basil
salt
pepper
1 cup water
24 oz of your favorite beer (don't go as dark as Guinness, but this is all to taste. I use Grain Belt Nordeast, some folks swear by Miller)

Steps:

  • Saute the onion in 2 tsbps of butter or the same amount of olive oil. When translucent, add to large pot. Add the wild rice, the chicken stock and broccoli florets. Put the burner on medium heat and lat that start to heat up. Saute the carrots and the celery in the same pan as the onion, add to the pot. Take 1 cup water, pour it into the saute pan. This will get all the leftover butter and veggie bits moving-pour it all into the soup pot too. Add the Worcestershire, and basil. Then salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil. Once it is boiling, add your meat of choice. Slowly stir in the cheese, making sure it isn't clumping, and keep stirring so it melts into a smooth consistency. Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes, don't let it boil. Add the beer. Go slow, the carbonation will make the soup puff up. Once the beer is in, let it simmer for another 5-10 minutes. If it tastes like a frat party when you test it, let it simmer for a little bit longer. Pro tip--if this soup gets you drunk, you didn't simmer the beer long enough. Serve in bread bowls. This soup can be topped with more cheese, popcorn, bacon, green onion, whatever you'd like--or you can eat it just the way it is.

MINNESOTA WILD RICE SOUP



Minnesota Wild Rice Soup image

Categories     Rice     Winter

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced yellow onion
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup cooked soup-grade wild rice (1/4 cup dry equals approximately 1 cup cooked)
2 cups Rice Select Royal Blend Whole Grain Texmati Brown and Wild Rice with Soft Wheat and Rye (28 oz. plastic container available in larger markets) (3/4 cup dry rice equals approximately 2 cups cooked rice)
1/2 cup grated carrots
2 ounces diced baby bella mushrooms
1/3 cup diced ham
3 tablespoons chopped slivered almonds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 snipped fresh chives (garnish)

Steps:

  • In small saucepan, cook all rice together according to package directions ~ 45 minutes. In separate large saucepan, melt margarine; saute onion until tender. Blend in flour; gradually add broth. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil; boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in cooked rice, grated carrots, diced mushrooms, diced ham, chopped slivered almonds and salt; simmer about 5 minutes. Blend in half and half and sherry; heat to serving temperature. Garnish with snipped chives.

Tips:

  • Choose the right wild rice: Use long-grain wild rice for a more tender texture and shorter cooking time.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly: This removes any dirt or debris and helps to prevent the rice from sticking together.
  • Use a large pot: Wild rice expands as it cooks, so using a large pot ensures that the rice has plenty of room to move around and cook evenly.
  • Bring the water to a boil before adding the rice: This helps to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Season the rice with salt: Add salt to the water before adding the rice. This helps to enhance the flavor of the rice.
  • Simmer the rice for 45-60 minutes: Once the water has come to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer the rice for 45-60 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all of the water.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains.
  • Serve immediately or store for later: Wild rice can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Wild rice is a delicious and nutritious grain that can be used in a variety of dishes. It has a slightly nutty flavor and a chewy texture that makes it a great addition to salads, soups, and pilafs. Wild rice can also be used as a side dish or as a main course. With its high fiber content and low glycemic index, wild rice is a healthy choice for people with diabetes or who are looking to manage their weight. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful grain, give wild rice a try.
