• Chopped mushrooms and wild rice are affordable, healthy, and very filling!
• This soup only takes 20 minutes to put together.
• I’m a big fan of making a big pot of soup for lunches throughout the week. You can bring it to work or reheat it at home on the stove. It’s a wonderful way to eat healthy mid-day.

Recipe Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious soup:

• WILD RICE: This recipe uses ¾ cup of uncooked wild rice. Feel free to use brown rice or long grain white rice if preferred.
• MUSHROOMS: You’ll need 4 cups of sliced mushrooms. You can use cremini mushrooms, white button mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, or baby bella. I used brown mushrooms.
• BASE: A combination of heavy cream (or coconut milk), broth, spices, onion and garlic make up the flavorful base of this soup recipe.
• VARIATIONS: You can add shredded chicken or leftover turkey for extra protein.
• TO SERVE: Drizzle a bit of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese and a dollop of sour cream for added flavor.

How To Make Creamy Mushroom Wild Rice Soup

1. Saute onions, mushrooms and spices in a large stockpot.
2. Add in cream, broth and rice according to the full recipe card instructions below.
3. Bring to a boil then let simmer until rice is cooked and mushrooms are tender.
4. Scoop into bowls. Serve and enjoy!

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. This soup can be reheated in a pot on the stove or in the microwave.

Recipe Tips

• This soup is thick and creamy. The rice will absorb a lot of the liquid. If you want it to be a bit runnier, just add more broth to the recipe.
• This recipe will make about four small servings or two large servings – feel free to double the recipe if needed.
• You can buy pre-sliced mushrooms from the grocery store to help save time.
• You could use brown or white rice as an alternative to wild rice. Keep an eye on the rice as it will cook differently than wild rice which tends to take longer.
• If you don’t have vegetable broth, you can use chicken broth as a replacement.
