Cream of Chicken and Wild Rice Soup
Ingredients
1 cup Wild Rice (about 8 oz.)
10 cups Chicken broth
1 large White onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
2 to 3 cloves Garlic, minced
4 stalks Celery, sliced (about 2 cups)
2 cups Mushrooms, sliced
4 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced (about 2 cups)
4 Tbsp Butter
1/2 cup Flour
2 tsp Savory, sage, OR thyme
3 cups cubed, cooked Chicken
2 or 3 Tbsp Lemon juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
Method
In a saucepan, bring 4 cups chicken broth and the wild rice to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 50-60 minutes, or until rice is tender. (Do not drain.) Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, saute onion, garlic, celery, mushrooms and carrots in melted butter until tender. Add flour and desired herb to vegetables, stirring well. Add remaining chicken broth to vegetables; cook until slightly thickened and bubbly. Stir in cooked wild rice and any broth remaining, and the chicken. Simmer on very low heat about 30 minutes. Add lemon juice just before serving; Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with sprigs of fresh dill, parsley, thyme, or savory.
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup rice flour or regular flour
2 quarts chicken broth
2 onions, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 leeks, chopped
2 sprigs, parsley
2 egg yolks
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup cooked rice
Salt
In a large saucepan, heat butter, blend in rice, flour and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until mixture begins to turn golden. Add hot chicken broth and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until soup thickens and becomes smooth. Add onion, celery, leeks, parsley and salt if necessary.
Simmer soup half an hour, skimming as necessary. Strain the soup base through a fine sieve. In a mixing bowl, mix egg yolks with heavy cream. Add a little hot soup, stirring constantly. Stir the mixture into the remaining soup and bring almost to a boil. Do not let boil. Add more cream to bring to the desired consistency; correct seasoning and add cooked rice and serve.
