Instructions: Vegetable broth (Swanson has a canned version) could be substituted for the chicken broth.

Place wild rice in small saucepan with 2-3 cups water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium -3 quart-saucepan melt margarine. Add olive oil, onion, carrot and celery. Cook covered for about 10 minutes. Add one can tomatoes, 2 cups chicken stock and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to gentle boil, just above simmer and cook 20 minutes.

Puree in blender or with mixer. Drain wild rice and add to soup with second can of tomatoes, basil, sugar, one grinding of pepper and last cup of stock. Cook 30 minutes at gentle simmer, add more water or stock if too thick.
