Wild Rice And Barley Soup Mix Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine broth and wild rice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in barley and brown rice; cover and simmer for 40-45 minutes or until grains are tender and the liquid is absorbed., Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, saute the mushrooms, onion and celery in butter and oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the rice mixture, cheese, cream and pepper; heat through.

Steps:

• 1. Add red onion, celery, garlic, parsley, and carrots to olive oil and sauté until onion is tender. You can also add the barley and wild rice at this point to let it get a little browning action and flavor going.
• 2. Transfer to stock pot and add remainder of ingredients except for the peas, beans, green onions and bacon.
• 3. Bring to a slight boil, then reduce to med-low heat. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes or until rice and barley are tender. Add additional water and seasoning if needed...barley and rice soak up a lot of liquid, so you'll probably have to. You can make this as "soupy" as you wish, or you can leave it on the thicker side.
• 4. Add frozen peas, beans, bacon pieces and green onion tops about 5 minutes before serving and heat through.
• 5. Variation - Substitute ½ ring of diced smoked sausage for the bacon pieces and throw in some macaroni at the last minute.
• 6. Serve! Great with oyster crackers or a grilled cheese sandwich. Bet you can't eat just one bowl!

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, cook beef and Italian seasoning over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.

Steps:

• Mix all dry ingredients. This is the mix. It will keep indefinitely as long as it is dry, so it's a great pantry item for a busy weekday night.
• Put in pot and add 2 quarts liquid (I love chicken broth, but you could use vegetable broth, beef broth, or 1/2 broth and 1/2 water. I've never tried all water, as I expect that would be rather bland, but you could use that, as well.)
• Add tomato paste if you are using it (highly recommended). Add carrots and celery if you are using them.
• Bring to a boil, then simmer till wild rice has split and peas just about fall apart, about 1 1/4 hours.
• Add canned items, as well as any leftover vegetable and meat that you are using, just enough to heat through.
• Wonderful with Parmesan or Romano cheese grated over it.
• You can also ladle into a microwave safe bowl, add an egg and cook in microwave until the egg is softly poached -- then stir the egg into the soup till creamy. Yum!
