3 Tips for Wild Rice Soup 🥣
1. Reduce the fat and retain the “creaminess” by cutting the amount of heavy cream and adding some roux.
Pro Tip: Roux will not fully thicken a liquid until it reaches at least 185 degrees. Bring your soup up to a simmer (little bubbles) after the roux is added to ensure proper thickening.
2. Milk and cream are emulsions. If heated improperly, the protein will coagulate and separate from the other components, resulting in clumpy curdling and/or a thickened coat on the bottom of your pan.
Pro Tip: Turn the heat off and stir in the milk/cream just before serving. If you must heat a dish containing dairy, use a low heat and stir frequently.
3. Use this dish to load up your family’s veggie consumption by adding just about any veggies you’ve got.
Add things like root vegetables (turnip, rutabaga, Beet, Celeriac) along with winter squashes and cabbage early in the cooking process to ensure they become tender. Add naturally tender veggies (bell pepper, asparagus, zucchini, broccoli) a little later to ensure they cook without becoming mushy.
Pro Tip: Soups, stews and braises are a great way to use up that veggie that may have become slightly wilted or past its prime instead of throwing it out.
