    Recipe Introduction


    Good soup, needs extra spices though. Salt, pepper, garlic, and even maybe cayenne pepper if you like it spicy.

    List of Ingredients





    1 box long grain wild rice mix (Uncle Ben’s)
    1 tbs olive oil
    1 1/2 cups chopped red onion
    1 cup chopped celery
    1 cup chopped carrot
    2 garlic cloves, chopped
    1 8 oz package mushrooms, halved
    1/4 cup all purpose flour
    1/2 tsp dried tarragon
    1/4 tsp dried thyme
    2 cups water
    2 tbs dry sherry
    2 (15.75 oz cans)cans fat free,chicken broth
    1 (12 oz) can fat free evaporated milk
    3 cups shredded roasted skinless chicken

    Note: I added diced low fat link turkey sausage and didn't use the sherry or tarragon. Also, I used the uncle ben's garlic & olive oil wild rice but the seasoning packet added a weird flavor so I wouldn't use it again. Instead I'd just add more spices myself. Also, I sauteed the veggies in the oil, added the flour, then the broth and milk (as per the directions), and then dumped the whole thing in the crock pot for a few hours so I didn't have to stir it for 20 minutes.

    Recipe



    1. Prepare wild rice as directed on package, set aside

    2. Heat oil in large Dutch oven over med-high heat. Add onion and next 4 ingredients
    (onion-mushroom), sauté for 6 min or until onion is tender.

    Stir in flour, tarragon, and thyme into onion mix, cook 1 min, stirring frequently.

    Add 2 cups water, sherry, chicken broth and evaporated milk, bring the mixture to a boil.

    Reduce heat, and simmer 20 min or until slightly thickened.

    3. Stir in cooked rice and chicken, cook 10 min or until heated through.
