Methods/steps

- Saute the onion in the olive oil over medium heat until soft but not browned. Add the white wine and increase heat to boil off the alcohol for a couple of minutes. Add the reserved morel water, chicken broth, wild rice, tarragon, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, drop to a slow simmer, cover and simmer 20 minutes.
