Sherried Wild Rice Soup image

Nutty and wonderful! Serves 8 as a main dish or 12 pre-dinner sized servings. Note: I use shiitake mushrooms, which are wonderful, and since they are large, I dice them.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2/3 cup raw wild rice
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 medium leeks
3 -4 large mushrooms
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
2 quarts chicken broth
1 cup light cream
3 tablespoons dry sherry
salt and pepper
parsley, minced

Steps:

  • Thoroughly wash rice and place in a heavy saucepan with water and salt. Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, until tender but not too soft; about 45 minutes. Fluff with a fork and simmer another 5 minutes, uncovered. Drain well.
  • Wash and trim leeks, leaving some of the green part. Chop leeks and mushrooms and saute in butter in a large saucepan until just tender; about 3 minutes. Stirring with a wooden spoon, sprinkle in flour and cook 1 minute. Slowly add chicken broth, blending well, and then rice. Stir with a whisk until thickened, then blend in cream and sherry. Remove from heat before it comes to a boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Sprinkle each serving with minced parsley.
