📝 Preparation Steps
1

2
Add wild rice, sweet potatoes, bouillon, all seasonings, bay leaf and chicken broth. (If your pot isn’t big enough for all the broth, add the rest with the cauliflower when the soup has evaporated some broth). Cover the soup to bring to a simmer, then displace the lid so it’s partially covering the pot, with about a one-inch opening. Simmer the soup for ⏱️ 20 minutes, then add the green beans. Simmer, uncovered, for an additional ⏱️ 10-15 minutes or until the rice is almost al dente.

Stir in shredded turkey and cauliflower and continue to simmer for ⏱️ 5 minutes or until cauliflower is tender and rice is al dente. Stir in additional broth if desired for a less “chunky” soup. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if desired (will depend on your turkey).
