Buffalo and Rice Soup

This simple soup features rice and ground buffalo meat. Buffalo, also called bison, was once the most important food for many Great Plains Indian tribes. Using ground buffalo meat allows for several cuts to be combined, adding flavor and complexity. This recipe, adapted for modern times, can be made with any variety of rice as opposed to the native wild rice used by the Sioux.
