Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 1/2 cups (or more) canned low-salt chicken broth
1 1/4 cups wild rice (about 7 1/2 ounces)
6 1/4 cups frozen corn kernels (about 2 1/2 pounds) thawed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 ounces fully cooked smoked sausage (such as kielbasa), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 carrots, peeled, diced
2 medium onions, chopped
1 1/2 cups half and half
Chopped fresh chives or parsley

Steps:

  • Bring 5 cups broth to simmer in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add wild rice and simmer until all liquid evaporates and rice is almost tender, stirring occasionally, about 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, blend 3 3/4 cups corn and 1 1/2 cups chicken broth in processor until thick, almost smooth puree forms. Heat vegetable oil in heavy large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add sausage and sauté until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add carrots and onions and stir 3 minutes. Add remaining 6 cups chicken broth and bring soup to simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer soup 15 minutes.
  • Add cooked wild rice, corn puree and remaining 2 1/2 cups corn kernels to soup. Cook until wild rice is very tender and flavors blend, about 15 minutes longer. Mix in half and half. Thin soup with more chicken broth, if desired. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper. (Soup can be prepared 2 days ahead. Refrigerate until cold; cover and keep refrigerated. Rewarm soup over medium-low heat before continuing.)

Categories     Soup/Stew     Brunch     Stew     Dinner     Lunch     Sausage     Corn

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 1/2 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1 1/4 cup wild rice
6 1/4 cup frozen corn kernels - thawed
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
10 oz. fully cooked smoked sausage cut into 1/2 inch cubes
3 carrots diced
2 medium onions chopped
1 1/2 cups half & half
chopped fresh chives or parsley

Steps:

  • Bring 5 cups broth to simmer in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add wild rice and simmer until all liquid evaporates and rice is almost tender --about 1 hour. Meanwhile blend 3 3/4 cups corn and 1 1/2 cups chicken broth in processor until thick, almost smooth puree forms. Heat vegetable oil in heavy large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add sausage and saute until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add carrots and onions. Stir for about 3 minutes. Add remaining 6 cups broth and bring soup to simmer. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Add cooked wild rice, corn puree and remaining 2 1/2 cups corn kernels to soup. Cook until rice is tender and flavors blend, about 15 minutes. Mix in half & half. Thin soup with more chicken broth if desired. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with chives or parsley.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Always opt for fresh vegetables as they offer the best flavor and nutritional content. For the tastiest soup, use a variety of colorful veggies like carrots, celery, bell peppers, and corn.
  • Sautéing the Vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables before adding them to the soup enhances their flavor. This step helps caramelize the natural sugars in the veggies, resulting in a richer taste.
  • Use a Good Quality Broth: The broth forms the base of the soup, so choose a high-quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or a combination of both.
  • Add Some Herbs and Spices: Herbs and spices add depth and complexity to the soup. Some great options include thyme, rosemary, sage, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add a bay leaf for extra flavor.
  • Let the Soup Simmer: Simmering the soup allows all the flavors to meld together and develop. Aim to simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Before serving, garnish the soup with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro. This adds a pop of color and freshness to the soup, making it even more appealing.
