Turkey and Wild Rice Soup


  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 leek, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 7 tablespoons flour
  • 6-8 cups turkey stock
  • 1 cup wild rice
  • dash thyme
  • dash sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups diced turkey

Melt butter in a soup pot. Add celery, leek, onion, and carrot, and sauté lightly. Sitr in just enough flour to absorb butter. Cook over medium heat 2-3 minutes. Gradually stir 6 cups turkey stock into mixture.

Add wild rice and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Add thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, over low heat for 20 minutes. Add turkey. Simmer another 20-30 minutes until rice is cooked. Add more stock if soup is too thick.

Makes 6-8 servings.
