We serve this soup on Christmas eve when food is supposed to be rich and filling. It's great anytime of year, though! I personally recommend using MN wild rice. It adds the rich nuttiness that makes this soup a winner. Ingredients:
3 cups cooked wild rice |
2 cups cubed cooked chicken or 2 cups turkey |
1 cup cubed cooked ham |
1 cup shredded carrot |
1 cup sliced celery |
1 quart half-and-half |
1 cup chicken broth |
1/4 cup sherry wine or 1/4 cup chicken broth |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 cup flour |
1/4 cup water |
Directions:
1. In a deep, heavy-bottom pot, combine all ingredients except flour and water.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through (20 min).
3. In small bowl whisk together flour and water.
4. Add slowly into hot soup, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
5. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until thickened (5-10 minutes).
