Place the ground beef, celery, onions, and the seasonings into a large skillet. Cook the over medium to medium-high heat until fully browned. Drain off any excess fat.
Place the meat into a medium stock pot along with the water, au jus mix, and wild rice. Simmer for 10 minutes over medium heat.
While the soup is simmering, melt the butter in a small skillet and whisk in the butter to make a roux. Continue cooking over low heat, whisking frequently, until the roux is browned.
With the soup simmering, stir in the roux and cook until slightly thickened. Should be the consistency of a thinner gravy at this point.
