Categories     Soup/Stew     Poultry     Thanksgiving

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 c. uncooked wild rice (I prefer the whole grain style, not the cracked)
1/2 c. unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 carrots, sliced into 1/4? thick coins
8 oz. fresh button mushrooms, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 c. all-purpose flour
8 c. low sodium chicken broth
2 c. half and half
2 T. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp. dried)
1/4 c. finely chopped fresh parsley (or 2 tsp. dried)
4 c. cooked and coarsely shredded turkey or chicken
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • First off, you'll want to get your wild rice cooking, so it's ready to add to the finished soup. Prepare according to the package instructions. (It takes awhile - the instructions on my bag says to cook it for 55 minutes.) The remainder of the recipe can be made in one stock pot. Start by melting the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, mushrooms, and garlic. Stir well and saute until the onion is transparent and softened. Blend in flour, cooking until it bubbles a bit. Gradually add the broth, stirring constantly. Turn up the heat a bit and bring the soup to a low boil. Boil for 1 minute. Reduce heat slightly and add the cooked wild rice, half and half, soy sauce, salt, pepper, bay leaf, thyme, parsley, and turkey or chicken. Simmer for 20 minutes or until thoroughly warmed. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and taste test to see if it needs more salt and pepper. Serve with crackers or warm bread.
