1 cup wild rice
1 medium onion, chopped
2 carrots, diced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup cream or coconut milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Prep the Ingredients: Begin by preparing all your vegetables. Dice the onion, carrots, and slice the mushrooms. Rinse the wild rice under cold water and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until it’s translucent. Then, add the carrots and mushrooms, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until softened.
Add the Rice: Stir in the wild rice and mix well with the vegetables, allowing the flavors to meld for a minute.
Pour in the Broth: Add 4 cups of vegetable broth, bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 40 minutes, or until the wild rice is tender.
Add Cream: Once the rice is cooked, pour in the cream or coconut milk. Stir to combine, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
