Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Equipment

  • Dutch oven or large pot
  • Wooden spoon
  • Chef's knife

Method

  1. Rinse the wild rice in a fine mesh strainer and place in a Dutch oven or large pot with the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 40-45 minutes or until the rice is tender.
  2. In a separate pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and sauté for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Add the garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the flour is lightly browned.
  4. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the mixture thickens.
  5. Add the vegetable mixture to the pot with the cooked wild rice and broth. Stir to combine.
  6. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through.
  7. Adjust seasonings to taste and serve hot.

Notes

  • This soup can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • If the soup is too thick, add more milk or broth to thin it out.
  • You can use any type of cheese you like in this recipe, but cheddar adds a nice sharp flavor.
