→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 tbsp cooking oil
02 - 400g (6) links of any sausage type
03 - 1 diced onion
04 - 2 celery stalks, cut thin
05 - 2 sliced carrots
06 - 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
07 - 1/2 tsp thyme (dried)
08 - 3 tbsp regular flour
09 - 750ml (3 cups) veggie or chicken broth
10 - 2 leaves from bay tree
11 - 100g (1/2 cup) rice (wild variety)
12 - 3 average potatoes, skinned and diced
13 - 375ml (1½ cups) light cream
14 - Pepper and salt as needed

# Instructions:

01 - Warm up cooking oil in your biggest pot. Squeeze sausages out of their skins, break them apart in the pot, and brown them well. Set aside on a dish, but keep about 2 tbsp of drippings in the pot.
02 - Toss in your onion, carrots, and celery. Let them slowly cook for 10 minutes, giving them a stir now and then. Mix in the chopped garlic and thyme, and cook for just half a minute more.
03 - Dust your veggies with flour, mix until they're coated and cook for 2-3 minutes until pasty. Add the browned sausage back to the pot.
04 - Slowly pour in broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Drop in bay leaves and wild rice. Let it bubble gently for about 30 minutes.
05 - Throw in the potato cubes and continue cooking another 15 minutes until you can easily pierce both rice and potatoes.
06 - Pour in the cream, add some salt and pepper to your liking, and heat until just warm. Ladle it hot into bowls and top with fresh parsley if you want.
