Lunch: Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Recipe by Amanda Johnson Amanda Johnson uses leftover chicken or turkey, and wild rice harvested nearby, to make this lovely soup.

Ingredients

4 tbsp. unsalted butter
3 celery ribs
2 carrots
1 medium onion
2 clove garlic
1 1/2 tsp. thyme
salt
Pepper
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. wild rice
2 qt. chicken stock or low-sodium broth
2 c. water
4 c. roasted chicken or turkey
1 c. heavy cream

Instructions

In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add the celery, carrots, onion, garlic, thyme and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables just start to soften, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, until evenly coated and lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
Add the wild rice to the saucepan and gradually stir in the stock and water. Bring to a boil, then simmer over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Add the chicken and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the wild rice is tender, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Stir in the cream and season with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve.
