Instructions

• Bring 1 ¼ cups water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the wild rice, then cover and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, about 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, trim the woody ends from the asparagus and peel the bottom halves of the stalks with a vegetable peeler. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
• Combine the asparagus with the remaining ingredients, except the last two, in a soup pot. There should be enough liquid to just cover the vegetables—add water as needed. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat. Cover soup and simmer gently for about 15 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender. Remove from heat.
• When the wild rice is done, stir it into the soup along with the spinach. Cover soup and cook until the spinach has wilted, then season with salt and pepper.
• If time allows, let the soup stand for an hour or two before serving to develop flavor. Reheat through as needed.
