Wild Rice Soup (Recipe)
recipes
Image by Ruthieki
This soup is inspired by the legendary wild rice soup at Lutsen Resort in Lutsen, MN. It’s rich and creamy and not exactly the healthiest soup I’ve ever made, but it’s so delicious and warming that the fat content doesn’t seem to deter anyone from going back for seconds and thirds. This makes about 8-10 servings. Cut the recipe in half if you want less. It freezes very well, though, so I usually make the full batch and freeze several quarts in ziplock bags.

In a medium saucepan, combine:
1 cup Wild Rice
3 cups water
Cook rice and water together on low heat, covered, until the rice is tender, about 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, saute in butter:
1 large onion, diced
3 carrots, diced
2 potatoes, peeled and diced

Add:
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup water

Cover and cook until the potatoes and carrots are tender. Add the cooked rice,
1 cup of milk or 1/2 cup of cream
1 small brick of Velveeta cheese, cut into little pieces.
Simmer gently until the cheese is completely melted into the soup. Add more milk if the soup seems too thick.

Preserving the Recipe Box

Dailyshoot Challenge: Containers, boxes, and packages. Make a photo with one or more as a subject and illustrate what they mean to you.

Wow! There are many choices for this challenge. I settled on a nostalgic box. Do they even make recipe boxes anymore? Just make a folder on the computer and store the recipes…easier to search!

However, this fine plastic recipe box has dividers made thirty years ago by a fine young man, age four at the time. The top divider is for desserts. It has a chocolate pirate birthday cake, candy cane, and Valentine cookie decoration. The sauce card below illustrates ketchup coming out of a jar because it is sitting on a ribbon. The young man explained to make ketchup that you cut the tomatoes, cook ’em, eat ’em.

And I quote him, "Tastes good! Put on tator tots!" Thanks for the memories, Jayson!

the phrase staple diet came into my head, so I thought I would make a visual representation of it…..

If the truth be told the ceiling in the extension needs painting and there are still loads of leaves to sweep up in my garden, but I talked myself into believing that taking this photograph was more important.

Vacherin Mont d’Or (recipe below)

This is a super easy, sure to please treat.

nymag.com/restaurants/recipes/inseason/42077/

"As eagerly anticipated among its fervent followers as Christmas Day is among the townsfolk of Whoville, Vacherin Mont d’Or is a truly seasonal cheese, made from the autumn and winter milk of the same speckled Swiss cows that give us Swiss Gruyère. Unless you smuggle the raw-milk variety past Customs, you’ll have to settle for a fromage made from milk that’s been thermized (like pasteurization-lite). Still, when perfectly ripe and properly oozing, it’s a fairly spectacular thing with a relentlessly barnyard-y aroma. Eat it with a spoon from its sprucewood container with some fruit and nuts, or wrap it in foil, box and all, and pop it in the oven for a no-cleanup-required fondue.

Baked Vacherin

1-lb. wheel of Vacherin Mont d’Or (available at Murray’s Cheese Shop and Dean & DeLuca in limited supply)
2–3 cloves garlic
Splash or 2 of white wine

Preheat oven to 375. (1) Discard the box lid, and prick the top of the cheese’s rind a few times with a knife. (2) Insert garlic cloves into the cheese, and drizzle the wine over the top. (3) Wrap the cheese (still in its box) in a piece of aluminum foil, leaving the top open. Place in oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping and cornichons, or spooned over boiled potatoes. Serves 4. "
