WILD RICE AND MUSHROOM SOUP



Wild Rice And Mushroom Soup image

Provided by Craig Claiborne And Pierre Franey

Categories     soups and stews, appetizer

Time 2h

Yield Eight to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups dried imported mushrooms, such as morels, chanterelles or porcini, about 3 ounces
5 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup finely minced garlic
2 cups finely chopped leeks
1/3 cup flour
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 cups fresh or canned chicken broth
Salt to taste, if desired
3/4 cup wild rice
6 ounces fresh mushrooms, preferably shiitake, although cultivated mushrooms may be used; thinly sliced, about 3 cups
1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon dry Sherry wine
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves, or use half the amount dried

Steps:

  • Put the dried mushrooms in a mixing bowl and add eight cups of lukewarm water. Let soak for 30 minutes or longer. When the mushrooms are softened, massage them to extract any sand or soil, then squeeze them dry. Set aside, reserving the soaking liquid. Line a sieve with a double thickness of cheesecloth and strain the soaking liquid through it. There should be about seven cups. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat two tablespoons of the butter in a four-quart kettle or casserole and add the garlic and leeks. Cook, stirring often, about five minutes. Do not brown.
  • Coarsely chop the soaked dried mushrooms and add them to the kettle. Sprinkle with the flour and cook over low heat, stirring often, about five minutes. Stir briskly from the bottom to prevent sticking. Add the wine, chicken broth and reserved soaking liquid. Simmer, uncovered, about an hour and 10 minutes. There should be about 9 1/2 cups of soup.
  • Meanwhile, heat two tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan and add one and a half cups of water. Bring to the boil and add the salt and rice. Cover closely and cook 50 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid and is tender.
  • Strain the soup, reserving both liquids and solids. Put the solids into the container of a food processor or electric blender and blend thoroughly, then return them to the kettle and add the strained-off liquid.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in a skillet and add the sliced fresh mushrooms. Cook about one minute, stirring. Stir in the lemon juice and Sherry. Add the sliced mushrooms and wild rice to the soup. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with thyme. There should be about 10 cups of soup.

SARASOTA'S MINNESOTA TURKEY, MUSHROOM AND WILD RICE SOUP



Sarasota's Minnesota Turkey, Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup image

This was a classic growing up. A little creamy, all fresh ingredients, mushrooms from a local farmer, and wild rice from a friend who was from MN, but rented one of our cottages every summer and always brought tons of MN Wild Rice. Now if you don't have turkey leftovers (which I almost always do), use chicken which will work just fine. But there is something about the turkey that is just perfect with this. If I don't have leftover turkey, I often buy a small turkey breast just so I can make this soup, and use the rest for sandwiches. And no turkey stock? ... chicken stock or broth is fine. Just don't skimp on a few things. 1) Sherry wine, 2) REAL wild rice, 3) fresh vegetables and, mushrooms, and; 4) fresh herbs. It just isn't the same otherwise. I can have just a bowl of this for dinner or it makes a great starter, or wonderful with just a salad or grilled sandwich.

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 bowls of soup, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups cooked turkey, diced (you can substitute chicken)
1 1/3 cups wild rice, uncooked
4 cups mushrooms, thin sliced (I use a mix of cremini, button, shitaki, morel, etc. Just don't use one, mix it up)
2 large sweet onions, cut in quarters and thin sliced (2 cups)
1 leek, thin sliced
1 small fennel bulb, cut in half and thin sliced
1 1/2 cups celery including celery leaves, thin sliced
3 teaspoons minced garlic
6 cups turkey broth, more if you like the soup a bit thinner (chicken is fine)
1/2 cup sherry wine
3/4-1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, fine chopped
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, fine chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, fine chopped
2 tablespoons butter
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Soup Base -- In a large pot, melt the butter and add the leeks, onions, celery, fennel and garlic and cook on medium heat until slightly translucent and soft. About 5 minutes.
  • Rice -- Add the rice right to the vegetable mixture and stir until well combined - then add the broth (start with 5 cups; you can always add more as the rice cooks), thyme, rosemary, worcestershire and bay leaf. Cover and cook on low heat (simmer) approximately 30 minutes until the rice is somewhat tender. Once again, taste for seasoning (salt and pepper) and add more broth if necessary. It depends on how thin or thick you like your soup. The soup still has a bit more time to cook which will allow the rice to finish cooking.
  • Mushrooms -- At this point, add the sherry wine and mushrooms and continue to cook another 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the mushrooms are soft.
  • Finish -- Everything is done - Now to finish off the soup. First, add in the turkey or chicken; and add the heavy cream to the soup. Increase the heat to medium and bring to a light boil and then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes. Stir and add in any additional seasoning if necessary and the fresh parsley.
  • Serve -- My favorite way to serve this is with a toasted baguette with melted gruyere cheese. Now, if you happen to have truffle oil -- drizzle a little on top, it is heaven. Can't get much better than that! ENJOY!

SLOW COOKER MUSHROOM AND WILD RICE SOUP



Slow Cooker Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup image

Making creamy soups in the slow cooker can be tricky because it's not possible to simmer them with the top off and reduce the liquid. One easy way to thicken without reducing is to use a roux, a mix of flour and butter. Heat the roux in the microwave, then whisk it into the stock in the slow cooker before adding the other ingredients. (If you don't have a microwave, simply melt the butter in a small saucepan, stir in the flour, let it bubble, then proceed.) This soup is best prepared on the high setting for two reasons: First, when cooked on low, the wild rice becomes too soft before the mushrooms are tender. Second, the roux doesn't thicken as effectively on low. If you need a longer cook time, omit the rice, put the soup on low for 8 hours, and turn the heat up to high before serving. Cook the rice separately according to package directions, then stir it in before serving. Find a pressure cooker version of this recipe here.

Provided by Sarah DiGregorio

Categories     dinner, soups and stews, main course

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
5 cups vegetable or chicken stock, plus more as needed
1/4 cup dry white wine (see Tip)
2 pounds mixed mushrooms (such as cremini and shiitake), tough stems removed, chopped into 1/2- to 1-inch pieces
1 cup wild rice (about 6 ounces)
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
1 small yellow or red onion, grated or minced
1 large carrot, peeled and finely chopped
6 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
3 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup sour cream
Chopped scallions or chives and fresh dill, for topping

Steps:

  • Put the butter in a microwave-safe container (a liquid measuring cup works well) and microwave until the butter is completely melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. With a fork, whisk the flour into the butter to make a smooth mixture the texture of cake batter, then microwave until the roux is steaming hot and bubbling slightly around the edges, about 30 seconds.
  • Scrape the roux into a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker and whisk in the stock and wine. Stir in the mushrooms, wild rice, celery, onion, carrot, chopped garlic, thyme and garlic powder. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and several generous grinds of black pepper. Cook on high until most of the rice grains are just slightly split open and the vegetables are tender, about 4 hours. (The soup can hold for 1 to 2 hours on the warm setting, but eventually the wild rice will overcook.)
  • Turn the heat to warm. Put the sour cream in a small bowl and slowly whisk in a few spoonfuls of the hot soup until smooth, then stir the mixture into the soup. (This prevents the sour cream from separating.) If you'd like the soup to be thinner, whisk in warm broth or water to the desired consistency. Taste the soup and add more salt and pepper to taste.
  • Divide the soup among bowls and top with chopped scallions or chives and dill. Reheat any leftovers on low until warm. (Boiling can cause the sour cream to break.)

Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms for a more flavorful soup. Try using a combination of cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Sauté the mushrooms in butter before adding them to the soup. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup.
  • Add a splash of white wine or sherry to the soup for extra flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh parsley, chives, or thyme.

Conclusion:

Mushroom wild rice soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold fall or winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover mushrooms. This soup is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. You can add more vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or leeks, or you can add a protein, such as chicken or tofu. You can also adjust the seasoning to your liking. No matter how you make it, mushroom wild rice soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
