WILD RICE SOUP MIX & SOUP



Wild Rice Soup Mix & Soup image

Everyone loves the soup that comes from this mix! And it can be made in a million ways. I used to buy this mix in bulk at the natural foods store, but began to wonder why I was paying so much for what were mostly very inexpensive ingredients. So I reverse engineered the mix. Directions for turning the mix into soup are below.

Categories     Grains

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup wild rice
1/8 cup barley
1/8 cup split peas
1/8 cup dried vegetables (optional)
1/8 cup dried mushroom (optional)
2 quarts chicken broth (optional)
1 (4 ounce) can tomato paste (optional)
2 celery ribs, sliced (optional)
2 carrots, sliced (optional)
2 (4 ounce) cans mushrooms (optional)
1 (12 1/2 ounce) can chicken (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix all dry ingredients. This is the mix. It will keep indefinitely as long as it is dry, so it's a great pantry item for a busy weekday night.
  • Put in pot and add 2 quarts liquid (I love chicken broth, but you could use vegetable broth, beef broth, or 1/2 broth and 1/2 water. I've never tried all water, as I expect that would be rather bland, but you could use that, as well.)
  • Add tomato paste if you are using it (highly recommended). Add carrots and celery if you are using them.
  • Bring to a boil, then simmer till wild rice has split and peas just about fall apart, about 1 1/4 hours.
  • Add canned items, as well as any leftover vegetable and meat that you are using, just enough to heat through.
  • Wonderful with Parmesan or Romano cheese grated over it.
  • You can also ladle into a microwave safe bowl, add an egg and cook in microwave until the egg is softly poached -- then stir the egg into the soup till creamy. Yum!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and texture to the soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and mushrooms.
  • Rinse the wild rice and barley before cooking to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cook the soup in a large pot over medium heat. This will help to prevent the soup from burning.
  • Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the soup hot with a side of bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Wild rice and barley soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With its nutty flavor and chewy texture, wild rice adds a unique twist to this classic soup. Barley, a hearty and nutritious grain, adds body and a slightly chewy texture. Together, they create a soup that is both satisfying and delicious.
