Creamy Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup wild rice
- 8 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 pound of mixed mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups of whole milk
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring the broth to a boil. Add the wild rice, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.
- In a separate large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and become golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Add the thyme, cooked wild rice, and the broth. Bring the soup to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot. Enjoy!
