This hearty and comforting wild rice mushroom soup is the perfect one-pot nourishing meal or make-ahead lunches for the week to come. It’s a soup that’s big on flavour whether you choose to make it vegetarian or vegan. Wild rice mushroom soup is naturally gluten free, but we also give you lots of customisable options so it suits all your dietary needs.
Wild rice has a nutty taste, unique chewy texture and is full of essential nutrients that pair perfectly with earthy mushrooms. Use a mix of mushrooms, not just the common white ones. Choose some more exotic ones if they are available to you. Searing the mushrooms first caramelises them and brings out all that incredible umami flavour.
We include simple flavour builders like garlic, carrot, celery and onion, plus a delicious herb-infused vegetable stock to make this recipe next level nutritious and tasty, cosy and satisfying. Wild rice and mushroom soup is sure to be on regular rotation over the winter months for lunches and family meals.
The best part, this wild rice mushroom soup is quick and easy to prepare with the Vibe Blender System chopping all the vegetables for you! If you haven’t tried this technique it really is a no brainer and saves you loads of hands on tedious chopping. The steps are simple and can be done in both the Vibe clear plastic or stainless-steel jug. Seeing inside the jug is not necessary because you can hear the blades and accurately gauge the chop. For soups, you really can’t go wrong!
Here’s how it’s done.
This wild rice mushroom soup is plenty flavoursome without cream but the addition of a creamy ingredient, whether its dairy or plant based is definitely yummy. We made ours sans cream because we like to add it on top when we serve. Try cream, cultured cream, homemade yogurt, sour cream, or even parmesan cheese. For non-dairy options, use your favourite plant-based milk, coconut milk, coconut cream, coconut yogurt, or what ever dairy-free creamy option you enjoy.
