Duck Soup With Brown Rice and Yams

Recipe #93048 | 2¼ hours | 30 min prep | SERVES 4 -6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Lorac

Duck and rice in a savory broth, offset with the sweetness of yams and green peas. Hearty enough for a main dish. If you can get a large (6 pound) duck, cut off the breast and save it for another recipe.

    Astounded that no one has yet tried this submission from RSC. The star of this elegant soup is the broth which is complex, rich and delicious. These are some of my favorite spices but I never would have thought to put them together. With the posting chef's permission I made this with chicken breasts. My biggest regret was scaling it to 2 so as not to have leftovers, which in retrospect we would have enjoyed immensely. Thanks Lorac!
