Minnesota Wild Rice and Mushroom Soup
1 cup wild rice
4 slices bacon
1 large yellow onion diced
2 large celery stalks diced
2 large carrots diced
1 pound mushrooms sliced
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp oregano
2 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
1 cup white wine
1 bay leaf
2 tsp rosemary
4 cups chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp vinegar

In a separate pot add wild rice and 1 tsp salt to 2 cups boiling water. Cook for about 45 minutes or until done (authentic wild rice may take less time, read package directions).
Cut bacon into 1/4 slices and cook in large pot until fat is rendered. Remove to paper towel. Add vegetables to bacon fat and saute until onions are translucent 3-5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for additional 15-20 minutes until they develop a deep brown color.
Add butter, when melted add flour and oregano and stir until thickened. Add wine to deglaze pot. Add chicken stock, bay leaf, and rosemary. Cook for 20 minutes.
Add wild rice, heavy cream and simmer for another 10-15 minutes. Add vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Serve with crackers.
