Notes: Cooking Wild Rice:
1 lb. uncooked wild rice = 2 1/4 c. cooked
1 c. uncooked wild rice = 3-4 c. cooked
1 lb. wild rice makes 20-25 servings
Formula:
1 c. wild rice, 1 tsp. salt and 4 c. water = serves 6-8
1 lb. wild rice, 10 c. water, 10 tsp. chicken bouillon (no salt) = serves 20-25
Rinse wild rice and place in heavy skillet with water (or water and bouillon). Bring to a boil, cover and simmer until rice kernels are open but not mushy (45-55 minutes). Drain water (but DO NOT drain if cooked in chicken bouillon mixture).
Note from chef: I cooked 1 cup of wild rice in 4 cups water flavored with chicken bouillon. I did this the night before I made the soup; I let the rice sit in the remaining cooking liquid overnight then added the whole thing to the soup (but this was for a double batch).
