Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 400g (6) sausages (chicken or turkey)
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 2 stalks celery (sliced)
- 2 carrots (sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 3 tbsp plain flour
- 1 litre chicken or vegetable stock
- 2 bay leaves
- 100g wild rice
- 3 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 375ml plant-based cream alternative
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Remove sausage from its casing and add to the pot. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until golden brown. Transfer sausage to a plate, leaving some fat in the pot.
- In the same pot, add chopped onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté over low heat for about 10 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and thyme; cook for an additional 30 seconds before adding flour to form a paste.
- Gradually add chicken stock while stirring to combine with the roux. Return the sausage to the pot along with bay leaves and wild rice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes.
- Add diced potatoes; continue cooking for another 15 minutes until both rice and potatoes are tender.
- Stir in plant-based cream alternative and season with salt before serving hot.
