Creamy Wild Rice and Mushroom Soup

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup wild rice, rinsed and drained
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free version)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

  1. In a large pot, combine the wild rice, vegetable broth, and water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the grains begin to split.
  2. In a separate large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Add the sautéed vegetables to the pot with the wild rice. Stir in the dried thyme and rosemary, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the soup to thicken slightly.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Enjoy your comforting bowl of soup!
