Wash rice thoroughly by running it under cold water in a strainer. Add rice to boiling liquid in a heavy saucepan or pot. Reduce heat and simmer covered for 35-50 minutes (about 45 minutes or so) or until kernels puff open. Then, uncover, fluff with a fork and simmer 5 more minutes and drain off excess fluid. If you like chewier rice, cook for less time. If you cannot find wild rice where you are, you can go online and purchase it, or check to see if your local grocery store would be able to order it for you. It has a very nutty and earthy taste I am sure you will love. Try it in your holiday dressing, hot dishes and more. If buying chicken stock rather than using fresh, buy low sodium or no salt so you can control the sodium in the soup. If you do not like thickened soup, you do not need the roux as the rice does thicken up the soup by itself.
