Angie Schramm from Yankton, South Dakota makes this comforting soup year-round...and after a few spoonfuls, you'll likely do the same. Pecans, ham and carrots are a few of the ingredients that will have you asking for more.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup uncooked wild rice
  • 3 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrot
  • 3 tablespoons chopped pecans
  • 6 tablespoons butter, cubed
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup cubed fully cooked ham
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup half-and-half cream
  • Green onion, cut into thin strips, optional

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Add rice. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 50-55 minutes or until tender. Remove from the heat. Let stand for 10 minutes; drain and set aside.
  2. In a large Dutch oven or soup kettle, saute the onions, carrot and pecans in butter for 1-2 minutes. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually add broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat. Add the ham, pepper and wild rice. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until carrots are tender.
  3. Reduce heat. Add cream and heat through (do not boil). Sprinkle with green onion if desired.
