Something nice for Tweety

Game Duck Soup with Plums and Wild Rice
* 1 whole duck
* 8 cups water
* 2 teaspoon salt
* 1 onion, unpeeled and chopped
* 1 leek, trimmed and washed
* 2 carrots, scrubbed and chopped
* 2 celery stalks with leaves, chopped
* 6 sprigs parsley
* 1 teaspoon thyme
* 10 peppercorns
* 4 whole cloves

* 1/4 cup wild rice, cooked in salted water for 45 minutes and drained

* 1/2 pound mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
* 1 large onion, cut in chunks the size of the mushroom quarters
* 3 plums, peeled and cut in chunks the size of the mushroom quarters
* salt and pepper to taste

Garnish: thinly sliced green onions

Put the whole duck (liver removed from giblets and used for something else*) in a Dutch oven and cover with the water and salt. Bring to a boil very slowly, skimming. When it reaches a boil, reduce the heat and add the leek, onion, celery, parsley, thyme, peppercorns, and cloves. Keep the stock at a simmer for 2 hours. After two hours, remove the duck and let cool til you can handle it. At that point, strip off the skin and discard. Remove the meat and reserve. And return the bones back into the stockpot, to let simmer for another 30 minutes or so.

Cook the wild rice for about 45 minutes, then strain and reserve.

Strain the stock through cheesecloth or wet paper towels, cool, then refrigerate overnight. When you're ready to start the soup, you will remove and reserve all the fabulous duck fat that congeals on the top (saving most of it for other decadent meals).

To make the soup, melt a Tablespoon or two of the duck fat in a large saucepan, then toss in the mushroom quarters and onion chunks to saute over medium heat. When the onion is transparent, add the duck stock (which should be gelatinous); cooked wild rice; and the duck meat, cut into hearty chunks. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.

When ready to serve, stir in the plums. Ladle into bowls and garnish each serving with thinly sliced green onions.
