Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 400g (6) sausages (any flavor)
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 2 stalks celery (sliced)
  • 2 carrots (sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 3 tbsp plain/all-purpose flour
  • 1 liter (4 cups) chicken or vegetable stock
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 100g (1/2 cup) wild rice
  • 3 medium potatoes (peeled and cut into chunks)
  • 375ml (1 1/2 cups) single/light cream or half and half
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Remove sausage from its casing, add to the pot, and break it apart with a spatula. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, then transfer to a plate.
  2. In the same pot, add chopped onion, sliced celery, and carrots. Sauté over low heat for about 10 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and thyme; cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetable mixture; stir until well combined into a paste. Cook for another couple of minutes before adding the cooked sausage back in.
  4. Gradually pour in some chicken stock while stirring to combine with the roux. Add remaining stock along with bay leaves and wild rice; bring to a simmer.
  5. Cook for about 30 minutes over low to medium heat until rice is tender. Stir in cubed potatoes and continue cooking for another 15 minutes until both potatoes and rice are tender.
  6. Finally, pour in the cream and season with salt to taste; allow to warm through before removing from heat.
