 To cook rice and add 2/3 cup wild rice to  1 1/3 cup water in sauce pan,
 bring to boil, turn to simmer.  Cover and cook 45 to 55 minutes or until
 most of kernels have popped.  Pre-heat over to 350 degrees, melt butter
 in sauce pan and saute onions until transparent, blend in flour and
 gradually add broth.  Cook-stir until mix thickens slightly.  Stir in
 rice and salt and simmer about 5 minutes.  Transfer to soup tureen and
 blend in cream.  Place in oven (20 to 30 min) Remove to base and garnish
 with slivered  almonds and grated carrots.  (Makes 6 to 7 cups.  You will
 wish you had made a double batch.)
 
 NOTE:  I always use fresh mushrooms when I make this soup.  Usually using
 about 1 pound (sliced).  I have also substitued canned condensed milk for
 the cream or used half and half.
