Notes

For best results, ensure the wild rice is thoroughly rinsed to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving the perfect texture. Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference and remember that the flavors intensify as the soup sits, so it's even better the next day. Consider adding a splash of lemon juice for a bright touch just before serving.
