I’m a Minnesota girl and have tried my fair share of Wild Rice Soup. Welcome to my kitchen, where the aroma of heartwarming dishes fills the air and every bite tells a story. Today, I'm thrilled to share a beloved recipe that has been a staple in my family for generations – Byerly's Wild Rice Soup with Ham. This is absolutely and without a doubt the best wild rice soup recipe in the world! This soul-soothing creation blends the earthy richness of wild rice with the savory goodness of ham. Now you can recreate this timeless classic in your own home, bringing warmth and satisfaction in every bowl. Growing up in Minnesota, Wild Rice Soup has always been a staple. From going to the Dayton’s Holidazzle Parade at Christmas-time and having a bowl of Wild Rice Soup with popovers at the Oak Grill downtown, to shopping with my Gram and having a big steaming bowl at Dayton's Boundary Waters on a cold winter day, buying it from the deli of our nearby Byerlys and Lunds, we love this stuff! I've had my fair share of Wild Rice Soup over the years, and the fact that Byerlys shares their recipe for this classic soup is absolutely amazing - and that base recipe serves as inspiration for this recipe! This rich and silky soup originated in the early 1980's in Minnesota Byerlys' deli. It was originally produced in small batches and packaged in mason jars, and then served in Byerlys' restaurants and the Daytons' Oak Grill. If you're looking for something warm and cozy to serve your family, this is absolutely and without a doubt the best Wild Rice Soup recipe in the world!

Every winter I go a little bit crazy cooking and baking with Minnesota wild rice. We have Wild Rice Pecan Cakes, Beefy Wild Rice Bake, Wild Rice Pancakes, and my favorite - this Wild Rice Soup. When we make our pilgrimages back to our home state, we always pick up a supply of Minnesota wild rice. Driving through Wisconsin, the wild rice grows in big paddies along the highway, but in Minnesota it is typically grown on Indian Reservations. Unlike a lot of other rices, wild rice is not technically a "rice" and has a very long shelf life when kept in an airtight container or vacuum-sealed. This Wild Rice Soup takes a while to make, but the melding of flavors is pure heaven on a spoon! Chicken broth, slivered ham, tender onions and carrots, and fresh cream and sherry blend together to make the smoothest and most flavorful Wild Rice Soup you will ever have. Sprinkle with slivered almonds before serving, and you have soup fit for a Minnesota king! Hope that you enjoy this family favorite as much as we do! INGREDIENTS:
2 cups cooked Minnesota wild rice (about 1/2 cup uncooked) 1 tablespoon Better Than Chicken boullion 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter ¼ cup finely minced onion ½ cup grated or thin julienned carrots ¼ cup flour 3 cups chicken broth ½ tsp. salt ½ cup minced ham 1 cup half & half or heavy whipping cream 1/3 cup dry sherry ¼ cup slivered almonds Parsley or chives HOW I MAKE THIS:
