Instructions
- In a large pot, melt butter and olive oil over medium high heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery and saute for 4-5 minutes, or until onions are soft and translucent.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables, and stir constantly for about 2 minutes. Then add the chicken broth slowly, stirring as you pour.
- Add grated potato, and seasonings, and bring the soup to a boil. Turn the heat down to medium low, and cover. Simmer gently for 1 hour.
- Add the milk, wild rice and chicken, bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to low and simmer for another hour, covered. When rice and veggies are tender, add lemon juice zest, and cream. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
