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.

VIDALIA ONION SOUP WITH WILD RICE AND MAYTAG BLUE CHEESE CROUTONS



Vidalia Onion Soup With Wild Rice and Maytag Blue Cheese Croutons image

Provided by David Kamp

Categories     weekday, soups and stews, appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup wild rice
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ½ pounds (about 4) Vidalia onions, or other sweet onions, quartered and very thinly sliced
6 cups chicken or vegetable stock
3 tablespoons chopped basil
3 tablespoons chopped chives
4 tablespoons chopped tarragon
3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Salt
pepper
8 slices baguette
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces Maytag or other young, not too sharp, blue cheese, at room temperature

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine the rice with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place a wide, deep pot over medium heat. Melt the butter and add the onions, tossing them until wilted and well coated. Cook the onions, turning them with a spatula every 5 to 10 minutes, until soft and browned but not burned; this may take 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Add the stock and simmer for 20 minutes. Wrap the herbs in a small piece of cheesecloth and tie with kitchen string. Drop the bundle into the broth for 1 minute, then remove it. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Brush both sides of the baguette slices with oil. Bake on a baking sheet until light golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. While the croutons are still warm, spread them with blue cheese.
  • To serve, divide the rice among four bowls, and ladle broth and onions on top. Float 2 croutons in the center of each bowl, and sprinkle with more pepper.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your soup a more complex flavor. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. A good melting cheese, such as cheddar or Gruyère, is a good place to start. But you can also use other cheeses, such as Parmesan or blue cheese, to add a unique flavor to your soup.
  • Add a splash of white wine. This will help to deglaze the pan and add a bit of acidity to the soup.
  • Season the soup to taste. Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your soup.

Conclusion:

Wild rice cheese soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a comforting and flavorful soup, give this wild rice cheese soup a try.
