Creating Turkey Wild Rice Soup is simple. Just follow these steps for a delicious result:
1. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

3. Combine Broth and Rice: Pour in the chicken broth and water, followed by the wild rice. Bring the mixture to a boil.
4. Simmer: Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the wild rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
