[recipe] Wild Rice and Spinach au Gratin Soup

[Guest guest]

This recipe was really good as it is posted, but i

rather missed the garlic flavor; i think i am

addicted to garlic. Next time i make this i am

going add some to the soup.

 

Wild Rice and Spinach au Gratin Soup

 

2 cups vegetable broth

1/4 cup uncooked wild rice

1/4 cup uncooked brown rice

3 cups shredded spinach

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

3 cups milk

1 cup half-and-half

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

1 1/2 cups shredded Jarlsburg or Swiss cheese

2 Tbs. dry sherry [optional]

 

Heat broth and rice to boiling in a 3-quart saucepan,

stirring once or twice; reduce heat. Cover and simmer

40 to 50 minutes or until rice is tender; do not drain.

Stir n spinach. Mix together flour and milk until smooth,

then add to the soup. Stir in half-and-half, onion powder,

and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly,

until mixture thickens and almost boils; remove from heat

at this point. Stir in cheese [and sherry if desired]; continue

stirring until cheese is melted. Do not boil.

Yield: 5 servings
