Minnesota Wild Rice Soup

This is an update on an old favorite from way up North. This rich and creamy soup is extremely satisfying and completely vegetarian.

INGRIDIENT

⅓ cup olive oil

¼ cup minced onion

½ cup diced celery

2 tablespoons minced garlic

1 cup all-purpose flour

6 cups vegetable broth

4 cups cooked wild rice

1 cup grated carrot

¼ cup sliced almonds

1 pinch red pepper flakes (Optional)

2 cups half-and-half

salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTION

Step: 1

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in garlic, onion, and celery, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, and cook for 3 minutes more. Pour in the vegetable broth, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step: 2

Stir in wild rice, carrot, almonds, and red pepper flakes; return to a simmer, and cook until the carrots are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in half and half, and cook until warmed through. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
