Wild rice turkey soup

My Mom gave me a recipe book in about 1991 or so. The name of the book is Lake Superior's North Shore in Good Taste. There is a recipe in there for Wild Rice Soup. It is from the Lutsen Resort. I told Jason that he should bake some bread so we could eat the soup right out of the bowls. It was really good. 


Lutsen Resort Wild Rice Soup 

2 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon minced onion
1/3 cup flour
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups wild rice, cooked
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 minced ham
1/3 finely grated carrots
3 tablespoons slivered almonds
1 cup half and half
1/3 cup shredded cheddar or colby cheese





Melt butter and saute' onion. Blend in flour and broth. Cook and stir until thickened. Add rice and salt. Simmer 5 minutes. Add ham, carrots, and almonds. Add half and half and cheese. Heat thoroughly. It doesn't have to cook long.
We decided to serve up the soup in the bread bowl, which was good. If you want to eat the entire bowl, you may want to make the bread bowls smaller. It is a great winter meal.  Tess
