What Goes In To Wild Rice Mushroom Soup?

heavy cream - this ingredient is optional, but if you're like me and want a creamier soup without worrying about the additional calories and fat, it's a game changer. I use a brand from a Dutch Ex Pat site called Alpro but it’s frequently sold out. Here’s another plant- based cooking cream you can try. If unavailable, simply substitute with Coconut Heavy Cream by #EdwardandSons (if you don't mind the mild coconut flavor) or a neutral, creamy plant milk such as oat or cashew milk. If you love creamy soups, try my Vegan White Bean Chili.

wild rice - for this soup, a wild rice blend, like Lundberg or Rice Select Royal Blend, works best. These brands contain a beautiful assortment of black, brown, red and wild rice that works beautifully in soups and other rice dishes.

mushrooms - whether you choose white button mushrooms or the more intensely flavorful cremini mushroom, this wild rice mushroom soup loves mushrooms that are plump and dry with a fresh smooth appearance.

How to Make Wild Rice Mushroom Soup

1 - in a small bowl make roux by combining ½ teaspoon xanthium gum and heavy cream. Stir with fork until smooth. Set aside. Melt butter over medium heat in your Dutch Oven. Throw in garlic and onion and sauté until onion is translucent.

2 - add chopped carrots, celery, dried sage and cumin to onion mixture.

3 - stir until veggies are well-coated with spices. Continue to sauté over medium heat until veggies are nearly fork-tender.

4 - add mushrooms.

5 - stir ingredients well and sauté until mushrooms begin to "sweat". Add white wine and cook about 1 minute.

6 - pour in vegetable broth. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low while continuing to stir.

7 - add wild rice and thyme.

8 - stir until ingredients are well-incorporated.

9 - using a fork, stir roux to break up contents that have settled, then pour slowly into wild rice and mushroom soup while stirring constantly. Bring to boil for 1 minute, continuing to stir. Reduce heat and add in heavy cream just until heated through. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish wild rice mushroom soup recipe with fresh thyme and parsley, or your own favorite garnishes.
