Notes

Soak or rinse the wild rice before cooking
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor
Use only 100% wild rice for this recipe for the best results
If you need to make this gluten free, you can make the roux substituting cornstarch for the flour. You just need to use 1.5 tablespoon of corn starch compared to the flour.
To make the soup vegan, use an oil instead of butter and a milk alternative instead of milk.
