Favourite Chicken & Wild Rice Soup

Directions

Run cold water over the wild rice in a strainer for about 1 minute, lifting the rice to rinse it thoroughly.

In a large saucepan, mix the wild rice, broth and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat. Cover and simmer for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender.

Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook the mushrooms and shallots in butter until tender, but not brown. Add the mushroom mixture, chicken and parsley to the soup. Heat through.
