CREAM OF TURKEY AND WILD RICE SOUP
Steps:
- This is a healthier twist on a classic creamy turkey and wild rice soup that hails from Minnesota. Serve with a crisp romaine salad and whole-grain bread.
- 1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, celery, carrots and shallots and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add flour, salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more.
- 2. Add broth and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Add rice and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until the rice is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in turkey (or chicken), sour cream and parsley and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes more.
- TIP: Ingredient note: Quick-cooking or instant wild rice has been parboiled to reduce the cooking time. Conventional wild rice takes 40 to 50 minutes to cook. Be sure to check the cooking directions when selecting your rice-some brands labeled "quick" take about 30 minutes to cook. If you can't find the quick-cooking variety, just add cooked conventional wild rice along with the turkey at the end of Step 2.
- Tip: To poach chicken breasts, place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a medium skillet or saucepan. Add lightly salted water to cover and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes.

- Add to soup in a slow steady stream, stirring constantly.

- NOTE: After rice cooks and turkey is added, add 3 more ladles of broth.
- (Note: This is my own personal preference and addition to the recipe to enhance the flavor of the end product).
Tips:
- When selecting ground turkey, opt for a leaner variety, such as 93% lean, to reduce the fat content in the soup.
- To enhance the flavor of the soup, use flavorful vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions, and sauté them until they are slightly caramelized.
- Use a combination of fresh and dried herbs for a more complex flavor profile. Fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary add a bright, aromatic touch, while dried herbs like oregano and basil provide a warm, earthy flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of wild rice. There are many varieties available, each with its unique flavor and texture. Some popular choices include long-grain wild rice, short-grain wild rice, and black wild rice.
- Let the soup simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer it simmers, the better it will taste.
Conclusion:
Ground turkey and wild rice soup is a delicious and nutritious meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is packed with lean protein, whole grains, and vegetables, and it is low in fat and calories. With its rich flavor and hearty texture, this soup is sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate.
