ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 carrots, diced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 3 stalks celery, sliced
- 1⁄2 cup whole wheat flour
- 6 -8 cups vegetable stock
- 2 cups dry wild rice, cooked
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 3 teaspoons curry powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 cups cream
directions
- In large saucepan, heat oil (or melt butter). Add onions and cook about 5 minutes or until tender. Add carrots, mushrooms and celery, cook for 2 minutes. Stir in flour, then add in vegetable stock, stirring on high heat. Stir in the wild rice and spices. Reduce heat and stir in cream; cook until thoroughly heated.
- Since I can't find wild rice, I usually use that wild/brown mixture I *can* find. I usually use half and half but it's extra creamy with cream (of course). I love this served with a slice of bread. The original recipe called for sprinkling chopped parsley (1/2 c for the whole thing) at the end, but I like it better without.
- To save dishes, I cook the rice in the same pot as the soup will be made. I just transfer the rice to a container (the one that will store the soup in the fridge) and add it when called for.

<p>I became a vegetarian (again) in October 2008. I like to experiment and tend to use recipes as a suggestion. I like all types of flavors but cook mostly Mexican and Italian dishes. <br /> <br />I store my recipes in a notebook with sheet protectors for a few. I'm in the process of moving my favorites to here. I also posted recipes that I found interesting but haven't tried yet.</p>
