Preparation
Step 1
In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, onion, and green pepper and sauté on medium-low for about 10 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a simmer.
To prepare the herb bag, add the herb bag ingredients to a square of cheesecloth, and tie it up. Place the herb bag in the simmering broth and vegetables. Continue to simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the herb bag from the broth.
Add the wild rice and simmer for 8 minutes more.
Add in the fat-free half-and-half, almonds, salt, and pepper and heat through, but do not boil.
