Mushroom Wild Rice Soup

The coziest Mushroom Wild Rice Soup – so easy and ready in just about an hour! Hearty wild rice, earthy, meaty mushrooms, and a delicious creamy broth! Recipe is adapted from Eat Figs Not Pigs and serves 6.

Ingredients

• ½ ounce dried porcini mushrooms

• 3 vegetable bouillon cubes or 1 tablespoon vegetable bouillon powder/paste

• 1 tablespoon oil

• 1 ½ pounds mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster), stems removed and roughly chopped

• 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

• 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper, plus more to taste

• ½ large white onion, diced

• 2 carrots, diced

• 2 stalks celery, diced

• 8 cloves fresh minced garlic

• 2 sprigs fresh thyme

• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced, plus more for garnish

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 1 cup vegan-friendly dry white wine

• 1 cup uncooked wild rice

• 2 cups unflavored and unsweetened non-dairy milk

• Vegan parmesan, optional, for serving

Instructions

1. Place the dried porcini mushrooms in large bowl with 6 cups of hot water. Whisk in the bouillon cubes or powder until combined. Set aside for the dried mushrooms to rehydrate in the broth.

2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottom pot over medium heat, add the fresh mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms release most of their moisture and start to brown.

3. Add the onions, carrots, and celery and cook until the onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, rosemary, and parsley, give it another good mix and continue to cook until the garlic is fragrant, another 1 to 2 minutes.

4. Sprinkle in the flour and mix to thoroughly combine. Cook, while stirring, for 2 to 3 more minutes. Pour in the wine and simmer until about half of it cooks down, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the wild rice and reserved broth and rehydrated mushrooms. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the rice is tender, 30 to 45 minutes.

5. Pour in the non-dairy milk, stirring to combine. Simmer another 15 minutes uncovered. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve immediately with vegan parmesan and fresh parsley and enjoy!
