This hearty soup combines the natural sweetness of caramelized onions with leek and mushrooms. The nutty flavor of wild rice adds something special. You can use brown rice if you prefer. This can be vegetarian by using veggie broth in place of the ask for meat broth. A food processor will make short work of the chopping.

Step 4

Stir in chicken broth, the 1-3/4 cups beef broth, cooked rice, sherry (if desired), and pepper.
Step 5

In a screw-top jar combine the 1/2 cup cold water and flour. Cover and shake until smooth; stir into the soup mixture.
