Prairie Bison and Wild Rice Soup

In a large pot, combine the browned bison, cooked wild rice, and bone broth. The manoomin gives this soup its earth-deep flavor.

Add the diced vegetables and bring to a rolling boil over high heat, about 3 minutes.

Reduce heat to low and add the maple syrup, sage, and cedar tea. Simmer gently for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender. (Cedar tea can be found at Native food suppliers or substitute with additional broth)

Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve hot, honoring the gifts of the prairie.
