Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

List of Ingredients

2/3 cups wild Rice, uncooked
4-1/4 cups chicken broth
A dash of black pepper
1-1/2 cups shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup white onions, chopped
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1-1/2 cups cooked chicken or turkey
1/2 cup fresh parsley, snipped




Recipe

1. Run cold water over the wild rice in a strainer for about 1 minute, lifting the rice to rinse it thoroughly.

2. In a large saucepan, mix the wild rice, chicken broth and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 40 to 45 minutes or until the rice is tender.

3. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook mushrooms and onions in butter until tender, but not brown. Add the mushroom mixture, chicken and parsley to the soup.

Heat through.
