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!

CREAMY TURKEY (OR CHICKEN) AND WILD RICE SOUP image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Poultry     Thanksgiving

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 c. uncooked wild rice (I prefer the whole grain style, not the cracked)
1/2 c. unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 carrots, sliced into 1/4? thick coins
8 oz. fresh button mushrooms, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 c. all-purpose flour

2 c. half and half
2 T. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 c. finely chopped fresh parsley (or 2 tsp. dried)
4 c. cooked and coarsely shredded turkey or chicken
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • First off, you'll want to get your wild rice cooking, so it's ready to add to the finished soup. Prepare according to the package instructions. (It takes awhile - the instructions on my bag says to cook it for 55 minutes.) The remainder of the recipe can be made in one stock pot. Start by melting the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, mushrooms, and garlic. Stir well and saute until the onion is transparent and softened. Blend in flour, cooking until it bubbles a bit. Gradually add the broth, stirring constantly. Turn up the heat a bit and bring the soup to a low boil. Boil for 1 minute. 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.

CREAMY TURKEY AND WILD RICE SOUP



CREAMY TURKEY AND WILD RICE SOUP image

Categories     Soup/Stew     turkey     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Fall

Yield Yield: About 5 servi

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients
3/4 cup uncooked wild rice blend*
1 cup chopped yellow onion (from about 1 small onion)
1 cup diced carrots (from 2 medium)
1 cup diced celery (from 2 - 3 stalks)
7 Tbsp butter, diced, divided
1 clove garlic, minced
4 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth (measured from 3 14.5 oz cans)
1/4 tsp of each dried thyme, marjoram, sage and rosemary
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts halves
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp lemon zest

Steps:

  • Prepare rice according to directions listed on package. Halfway through the rice cooking, in a separate large pot, melt 1 Tbsp butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots and celery and saute until slightly tender, about 4 minutes, adding in garlic during last 30 seconds of sauteing. Add chicken broth, thyme, marjoram, sage, rosemary and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Increase heat to medium-high, add chicken and bring mixture to a boil. 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. In a separate medium saucepan (I just rinsed and wiped out the rice pan), melt remaining 6 Tbsp butter over medium heat. Add flour and cook 1 1/2 minutes, whisking constantly. Then, while whisking vigorously, slowly pour milk into butter/flour mixture. Cook mixture, stirring constantly until it thickens. Add milk mixture to soup mixture in pot and cook about 5 minutes longer, or until soup is t

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your soup. Look for organic, free-range turkey and wild rice, and use fresh vegetables and herbs.
  • Don't overcook the turkey: Turkey can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per pound.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so make sure it's flavorful. Use a good-quality chicken or turkey broth, or make your own broth by simmering turkey bones, vegetables, and herbs in water.
  • Add vegetables and herbs: Vegetables and herbs add flavor, color, and nutrients to your soup. Add a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes, and season with fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, and sage.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the soup will not cook evenly and the vegetables will not have room to soften. Cook the soup in batches if necessary.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: Simmering allows the flavors to meld and develop. Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.

Conclusion:

Turkey and wild rice soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this soup is a great option for busy weeknights. You can also experiment with different vegetables and herbs to create your own unique flavor combinations. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful soup, give turkey and wild rice soup a try. You won't be disappointed.
