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.

Provided by SarasotaCook

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!

Reduce heat slightly and add the cooked wild rice, half and half, soy sauce, salt, pepper, bay leaf, thyme, parsley, and turkey or chicken. Simmer for 20 minutes or until thoroughly warmed. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and taste test to see if it needs more salt and pepper. Serve with crackers or warm bread.

Cover pot with lid and allow mixture to boil 12 - 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (rotating chicken to opposite side once during cooking for thicker chicken breasts - if they don't fully immerse in broth). Remove chicken and set aside on cutting board to cool 5 minutes then shred into small bite size pieces. Meanwhile reduce heat to low and add cooked rice. Add shredded chicken to soup.

TURKEY, KALE AND BROWN RICE SOUP image

Categories     turkey     Vegetable

Yield 4-6 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 to 6 large shallots, chopped
3 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 1/3 cups)
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 1/2 cups)
8 ounces ground white turkey meat, broken into small chunks
1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, plus more as needed
One 15-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice, drained
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 small bunch kale, coarsely chopped (about 4 packed cups)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, optional

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, carrots and bell pepper and saute, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to brown and soften slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the ground turkey and stir until the meat turns white and begins to color very slightly around the edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the herbes de Provence and stir, 1 minute. Add 4 cups broth, tomatoes and rice. Bring to a boil. Stir in the kale and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and the freshly ground black pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Ladle the soup into bowls. Sprinkle each serving with parsley and Parmesan, if using, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients make all the difference in this soup. Choose a good-quality turkey carcass or bones, and use fresh vegetables and herbs.
  • Roast the turkey bones before making the soup: This step adds a lot of flavor to the soup. You can roast the bones in the oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, or until they are browned.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your soup a more complex flavor. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, leeks, and potatoes.
  • Add some herbs and spices: A few well-chosen herbs and spices can really elevate the flavor of this soup. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, salt and pepper.
  • Simmer the soup for at least an hour: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can simmer the soup for longer if you like, but don't boil it, or the vegetables will become mushy.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some good options include chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, or crusty bread.

Conclusion:

Turkey and rice soup is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover turkey after a holiday meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a pot of turkey and rice soup that the whole family will enjoy.
