Source: Cooking Light Annual Recipes 2004 - Cooking Light Magazine
Because wild rice is a natural match for smoked foods, the broth is infused with a little bacon to add a smoky flavor. Onions, port, and vinegar add sweet and sour notes. You can also use smoked chicken, duck, or pork in this soup.
== Ingredients ==
* 6 cups water
* 2 cups uncooked wild rice
* 3 thick-cut bacon slices, chopped (about 3 ounces)
* 5 cups thinly sliced red onion (about 1 large)
* 1/4 cup port or other sweet red wine
* 6 cups Brown Chicken Stock
* 3 cups shredded roasted chicken breast (about 1 pound)
* 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
== Directions ==
# Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan, and stir in wild rice.
# Reduce heat; simmer, partially covered, 35 minutes or until rice is tender.
# Drain and set aside.
# Place bacon in an 8-quart stockpot over medium heat.
# Cook 10 minutes or until bacon begins to crisp, stirring frequently.
# Add onion; increase heat to medium-high.
