Chicken, Mushroom & Wild Rice Soup with Bannock

Chicken, Mushroom & Wild Rice Soup with Bannock
Soup:
1 tbsp (15 mL) margarine
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 lb (225 g) cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 tsp (5 mL) curry powder
1/2 cup (125 mL) raw wild rice, rinsed and drained
1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried oregano
1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cooked and cubed
3 cups (750 mL) chicken stock
1 can (385 mL) evaporated skim milk
3 tbsp (45 mL) flour

In a large pot, melt margarine over low heat. Add onions, mushrooms, and curry powder and stir-cook until the onions are tender. Stir in wild rice, oregano, parsley, salt, pepper, chicken and stock. Bring to a boil, cover, then reduce heat and simmer until the rice is tender (about 40-45 minutes). Stir together evaporated milk and flour until no lumps remain. Stir into soup and cook until slightly thickened.
Bannock:
3 cups (750 mL) all - purpose flour
2 tbsp (30 mL) baking powder
1 tbsp (15 mL) sugar
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1/2 cup (125 mL) hard margarine or butter
3/4 - 1 cup (175 - 250 mL) water

Mix together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in margarine until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Gradually mix in just enough water to make a soft, but not sticky, dough. Shape into a ball, then flatten into a circle about 1 inch thick. Place on a greased baking sheet and bake in a 425ºF (220ºC) oven for about 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cut in wedges and serve with Chicken, Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup.

Makes 4-6 servings.
