Print Recipe

This cozy wild rice soup is hearty, packed with seasonal vegetables, and has just the right amount of creaminess to make it the ultimate fall comfort food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup uncooked wild rice
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water, then cook it according to package instructions. Set aside.
  2. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions, garlic, carrots, and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Toss in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and add the thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Stir in the cooked wild rice and let it simmer for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
  6. Lower the heat and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Let the soup heat through without boiling, about 5 minutes.
  7. Taste and add more salt or pepper if needed.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh thyme or parsley for a pop of color.

Notes

If the soup thickens too much, add a splash of broth or water to loosen it up. This soup tastes even better the next day, making it perfect for meal prep.
