- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 large carrots, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions
- Add the wild rice, butter, onion, celery, carrots, garlic, and thyme to the slow cooker. Pour the broth over the top and stir.
- Cover and cook on high for 3 to 3½ hours, until the rice is tender and most of the grains have split open.
- Turn the slow cooker off completely. Don’t leave it on warm, or the rice will get soggy.
- Stir in the cream or evaporated milk.
- Taste, then add salt and pepper, if needed.
- If the soup thickens as it sits, stir in ½ cup of water at a time until it reaches the consistency you want.
