Turkey Wild Rice Soup

Donna Michels recipe.

First you have to roast a turkey, make turkey stock, and make 3 cups of wild rice.

CREAM OF TURKEY AND WILD RICE SOUP

2 cups cooked turkey, chopped

3 cups wild rice, cooked to pkg directions and drained

8 cups turkey stock

1 sm onion, finely diced

1 carrot, finely diced

4 celery ribs, finely diced 

1 cup flour

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup whipping cream

Saute onion, carrot, and celery in butter until soft. Add flour, a little at a time, and cook till you form a rue, taking care not to burn. Cooking slowly until thick and blended should take about 5 minutes, which gets rid of the raw flour taste.) 

Add broth, a little at a time, and blend.

Add rice and turkey. (If these are already warmed in the microwave, so much the better.)

Salt to taste. (It takes lots.)

Add cream and reheat without boiling.
