Steps

    Melt butter in 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook celery, carrot, onion and bell pepper in butter about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
  • 2
    Stir in flour and pepper. Stir in wild rice, water and broth. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you can't find the frozen cooked wild rice, use 1 1/4 cups from a 15-ounce can of cooked wild rice. Want to cook the wild rice yourself? Heat 1/2 cup uncooked wild rice and 1 1/4 cups water to boiling in 2-quart saucepan; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 40 to 50 minutes until wild rice is tender.
