Instructions

Soup Preparation:
Add 1 pint of uncooked whole grain Minnesota wild rice to 3 pints of boiling water. Boil for approximately 20-25 minutes or until rice kernels open.

In a 2 gallon heavy saucepan, fry bacon to a crisp consistency. Add diced carrots and cook about 5 minutes. Add diced onion and diced celery; cook about 5 minutes more, or until the vegetables appear translucent. Season with chicken base and salt and pepper. Add 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat.

Gradually add 3 cups of flour, whisking until roux forms, about 5 minutes. Gradually stir in 2 quarts of heavy cream. Add milk until desired consistency is reached. Bring to a simmer.

Add sliced mushrooms and the cooked wild rice mixture. Simmer 5 to 10 minutes more. DO NOT BOIL! Serve hot.
