A slight variation on a recipe I received from a fellow Minnesota farm wife. A delicious soup that can also easily be cooked in a slow cooker and freezes well.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • ½ cup butter

  • 1 finely chopped onion

  • ½ cup chopped celery

  • ½ cup sliced carrots

  • ½ pound fresh sliced mushrooms

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour

  • 6 cups chicken broth

  • 2 cups cooked wild rice

  • 1 cup slivered almonds

  • 3 tablespoons dry sherry

  • 2 cups half-and-half

Directions

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion, celery, and carrots and sauté for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté for 2 more minutes. Then add flour and stir well.

  3. Gradually pour in chicken broth, stirring constantly, until all has been added. Bring just to a boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer.

  5. Allow to heat through, then pour in the half-and-half. Let simmer for 1 to 2 hours. (Note: Do not boil or your roux will break.)
