Equipment

  • Stove

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic - minced
  • ¾ cup diced celery
  • ¾ cup diced carrots
  • ½ cup diced mushrooms
  • 2 cups diced/shredded turkey - leftovers work perfectly
  • 1 box quick cook long grain wild rice
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups milk - I used skim
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 7 tbsp butter

Instructions

  • In a large pot over medium heat, saute the onions and garlic in 1 tbsp of butter.
  • Once the onions start to get translucent add in the carrots, celery and mushrooms.
  • While the vegetables are cooking, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
  • In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper and flour.
  • Stir in contents of rice seasoning packet into the saucepan with the melted butter (NOT the rice).
  • Reduce heat to low, then stir in flour mixture by adding 1- 2 tablespoons at a time, to form a roux.
  • Whisk in milk, a little at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth. Cook until warm, 5 minutes.
  • Pour the broth, water and turkey into the larger pot with the vegetables. Bring just to boiling, then stir in rice.
  • Stir the milk mixture into broth and vegetables. Cook over medium heat until heated through and the rice and vegetables are tender.
  • Enjoy!

This soup is delicious with a nice chunk of bread, or serve it in a bread bowl!
