    1 (8-ounce) package already-sliced

    fresh mushrooms

    1 (14-1/2 ounce) can fat-free chicken broth

    1 (10-3/4 ounce) can reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup

    2 cups water; see cook's note

    Recipe



    Cook's Note: We tested this recipe with Uncle Ben's long grain and wild rice fast-cooking recipe. There

    are several brands of wild rice blends on the market. Be sure to choose one that cooks in 5 minutes, and

    check the package directions to see how much water is required for cooking the rice. If it's not 2 cups,

    adjust the water in this recipe to match whatever is stated on the box.

    1. Heat the oil over medium heat in a 4-1/2 quart Dutch oven or soup pot. Peel and coarsely chop the

    onion, adding it to the skillet as you chop. Raise the heat to medium-high. Cook 1 minute, stirring from

    time to time. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid, about 3 minutes, stirring

    occasionally. (Meanwhile, open the broth and soup cans and measure out the water.) Add the sherry, if

    using, and cook 1 minute to evaporate the alcohol.

    2. Add the chicken broth, cream of mushroom soup and water. Add the rice and 1 tablespoon of the rice

    seasoning from the season packet. (Reserve the remaining seasoning for another use or discard.) Stir well,

    cover the pot and raise the heat to high. Bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and stir well.

    Continue to cook at a simmer 5 minutes more to soften the rice and develop flavor. Season with black pepper to taste.

    Serve at once.
