Creamy Turkey/Chicken Wild Rice Soup

Syd's sister found this in a newspaper and tried it on us. It was a definite keeper. Everyone had seconds.

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 c. sliced mushrooms
3/4 c. celery, chopped
3/4 c. carrots, chopped or sliced
1/4 c. onions, chopped
1/4 c. flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
4 c. chicken broth
1 c. quick cooking or instant wild rice
3 c shredded or chopped cooked chicken or turkey
1/2 c. sour cream
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (2 tsp dried)

Sauté mushrooms, celery, carrots and onions in oil until soft. Add flour, salt and pepper and cook. Add broth and bring to a boil scrapping up any browned bits. Add rice and reduce to heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until rice is tender, 5-7 minutes. Stir in chicken or turkey, sour cream and parsley. Cook until heated through.
