Directions
In a heavy medium saucepan, heat 5 cups broth to boiling. Add wild rice and simmer, uncovered, over medium heat until all liquid evaporates and rice is almost tender, stirring occasionally, about 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, blend 3 3/4 cups corn and 1 1/2 cups chicken broth in food processor until a thick, almost smooth puree forms. Heat vegetable oil in a heavy large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add sausage and saute until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add carrots and onions and stir 3 minutes. Add remaining 6 cups chicken broth and heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low and simmer soup 15 minutes.
Add cooked wild rice, corn puree and remaining 2 1/2 cups corn kernels to soup. Cook until wild rice is very tender and flavors blend, about 15 minutes longer. Mix in half-and-half. Thin soup with more chicken broth, if desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Soup can be prepared 2 days ahead. Refrigerate until cold; cover and keep refrigerated. Rewarm soup over medium-low heat before continuing.)
Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with chives or parsley and serve.
