Provided by Galynn

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Turkey Soup Recipes

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your soup. Look for wild rice that is plump and firm, and vegetables that are crisp and brightly colored.
  • Don't overcook the wild rice: Wild rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight chew to it. Overcooked wild rice will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include potatoes, parsnips, turnips, and squash.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup hot: Turkey wild rice soup is best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Turkey wild rice soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is made with simple, wholesome ingredients and is packed with protein and nutrients. This soup is also a great way to use up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.
