Preparation

Step 1

Cook wild rice and wheatberries and put to the side. Saute carrots and onions until tender and put to the side.

Heat oil in a soup pot over high heat, add onions and garlic and saute until onions are caramelized — about 7 minutes.

Stir in stock, basil and thyme. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 40 minutes. Turn heat back to high, whisk in cream and bread until bread has disintegrated into the soup — about 10 minutes.

Puree the soup mixture in a food processor or blender. Add the wild rice, wheatberries, carrots and celery. Season with salt and pepper.
