Ingredients List

  • ⅓ cup olive oil

  • ¼ cup minced onion

  • ½ cup diced celery

  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 6 cups vegetable broth

  • 4 cups cooked wild rice

  • 1 cup grated carrot

  • ¼ cup sliced almonds

  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes (Optional)

  • 2 cups half-and-half

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in garlic, onion, and celery, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, and cook for 3 minutes more. Pour in the vegetable broth, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
