Instructions

Step 1

Heat the butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, leeks, bell pepper, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Reduce the heat to low, add the flour, and stir well. Cook gently, about 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 3

Add the broth gradually, whisking well with each addition to eliminate flour lumps.

Step 4

Bring to a simmer.

Step 5

Add the wild rice and salt. Continue to simmer until the rice is tender.

Step 6

Continue to simmer until the rice is tender, but still somewhat chewy, about 45 minutes.

Step 7

For the last 8 minutes of cooking the rice: In medium-sized pan, heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil on high heat. Add ground turkey and mushrooms. Cook. Season with salt and pepper. Once done, pour out extra oil and add to soup. Stir.

Step 8

Stir in the heated cream and sherry. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Serve in heated bowls, garnished with chives and parsley.
