3 Recipe Corner CHIPPEWA WILD RICE AND CHICKEN SOUP Many Native cultures including Ojibwa consider wild rice a sacred grain. Wild rice is indigenous to North America and grows in lakes and streams. Manoomin is the Ojibwa word for wild rice and means good berry. INGREDIENTS: 2 quarts water to pre-boil the rice ¾ c raw wild rice ½ cup butter 1 cup chopped celery 1 cup chopped carrots ½ cup chopped onion ⅓ cup flour 1 lb boneless skinless chicken, cut into 1-inch pieces 5 cups chicken broth 2 cups half and half ¼ teaspoon rosemary ⅛ teaspoon dill ⅛ teaspoon fennel seeds salt & black pepper to taste DIRECTIONS: 1. Boil the water to cook rice in a large pan or pot. Once water is boiling, sprinkle in raw wild rice and stir. Boil the wild rice for one hour and drain in a colander. Set aside. 2. Over medium high heat, melt ½ cup of butter in a large pot and add chopped celery, carrots, and onion. Cook until onions are translucent, and vegetables are soft, about 8 10 minutes. 3. Sprinkle in ⅓ cup flour, stirring constantly. Once the flour has been incorporated into the butter, fry the flour in the butter for 2 minutes. This prevents the finished soup from having a floury taste and completes the roux. 4. Stir in the cut up chicken pieces which have been seasoned with salt and crushed black pepper. Allow the chicken to cook through, stirring often. 5. Add the 5 cups of chicken broth and stir to incorporate the broth and the flour/butter roux. Simmer the broth for about five minutes, stirring often. 6. Turn heat to low and slowly add the 2 cups of half-and-half, stirring constantly. Then add the cooked wild rice. 7. Add spices: rosemary, dill, and fennel seeds.. 8. Simmer soup for 1½ to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. DO NOT BOIL as it will cause the cream sauce to separate. 9. Once the soup has thickened, season with salt and pepper to taste. Note: Serves 4-6. Source: A special THANK YOU to the Puyallup Tribe for awarding our Program a Charity Fund Grant of $2500!
