It's wonderful stuff, wild rice soup. Try adding some diced chicken to the
soup below.

Wild Rice Soup

1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. raw wild rice, well rinsed
1/2 c. slivered almonds
1/2 c. diced onions
1/2 c. diced celery
1/2 c. grated carrots
4-1/2 c. chicken or vegetable stock
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbs. chopped fresh parsley
3-4 tsp. cornstarch
2 c. whipping (heavy) cream

In a deep saucepan, cook the wild rice and almonds in butter for a minute,
then add the onion, celery and carrots and saute for 2-3 minutes or until
the onion is translucent. Add the stock. Season with salt & pepper. Cover
and simmer the soup for 1-1/2 hours. Make a slurry with the cornstarch and 1
cup of the whipping cream and gradually stir this into the hot soup to
thicken. Stir in the remaining cream and heat through. Top with chopped
fresh parsley and serve. Serves 4-6; may be doubled.
