DELICIOUS! When making the stock, I added in some onion, carrot, and celery for some extra flavor; also our turkey was smoked, so I think that added even more great flavors to the broth/soup. I used 1 onion, 3 carrots, 3 celery stalks, and 1 large clove of garlic; sauteed them in some olive oil for a few minutes before adding the stock and rice. Also, I used 1 cup of flour (instead of the 1 1/2 cup) and the consistency was perfect. Used 1/2 cup wild rice (uncooked; w/out the seasoning packet) and also used 1 1/2 cups whole milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream as I didn't have any half-and-half. Will definitely be making this a permanent after-Thanksgiving-tradition for our family! :)

Jan 11, 2004 This was easy to make but was so thick from the 1 1/2 cups of flour. I feel this would have been better if a person used half the amount of butter and flour that this recipe calls for. Because made as written this is almost like a gravy. I told my husband we should put it over toast. You may also want to double the amount of rice used. UPDATE:Feb.14,04 I took out some soup I had frozen and used it on mashed potatoes. It is GREAT this way, used as a gravy.
