Instructions

In a 6 to 7-quart dutch oven, melt butter and add in the mushrooms, onion, carrot, celery and garlic with a pinch or two of kosher salt. Stir and coat in the butter. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally (to avoid sticking) for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender.
Next, measure and add in the Trader Joe’s Umami Seasoning (if using), rubbed sage, dried thyme and dried rosemary. Stir and cook 1 minute.
Next, sprinkle in 1/4 cup of unbleached all-purpose flour. Stir and cook 2 to 3 minutes.
While stirring, pour in 6 cups of turkey stock and 2 cups water. Add in the bay leaf and wild rice. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook covered with the lid askew for 45 to 50 minutes or until rice spits open and is tender.
Once the rice is tender, add in leftover cooked turkey and heavy cream.
Note: If the soup seems too thick, add more turkey stock as needed.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the soup thoroughly before removing the bay leaf and serving.
