N

The Soup:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 leek, white and green parts cleaned and thinly sliced (3/4 cup)
  • 16 oz sliced shiitake mushrooms (I also combine with baby bella)

  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh Tarragon, chopped
  • 1/3-3/4 cup cooked wild rice (I actually just cooked 1/3 cup along with the soup itself)
  • 2 cups shredded roast chicken
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • dash of white pepper to taste
