Ingredients

Scale

For the soup:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup wild rice, rinsed

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
