Follow The Directions

01

Step
50 mins

In a medium saucepan, combine wild rice and 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the grains have burst open. Drain any excess water. (Estimated time: 50 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a large saucepan or stockpot, combine chicken broth, cooked wild rice, thawed corn kernels, chopped green onions, diced red and green bell peppers, parsley, and tarragon. Stir well to combine. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the corn is tender and the flavors have melded. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water until smooth to create a slurry. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)

05

Step
3 mins

Gradually add the cornstarch slurry to the soup, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. (Estimated time: 3 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Continue to cook the soup for 5 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)

07

Step

Serve hot and garnish with extra fresh parsley or a dollop of sour cream, if desired.

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth or adding a splash of heavy cream at the end of cooking.
If you prefer a smoother soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the cornstarch slurry.
Feel free to add other vegetables such as diced carrots, celery, or mushrooms to customize the soup to your liking.
Wild rice can vary in cooking time, so check for tenderness after 45 minutes and adjust accordingly.
If you don't have fresh parsley, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried parsley, but fresh is recommended for the best flavor.
