Creamy Wild Rice & Mushroom Soup

Mushrooms add earthiness and umami flavor in this creamy, one-pot soup recipe. This vegetarian soup will thicken as it sits, so be mindful that the consistency may change when you're done cooking.

Ingredient

    • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

    • 1 cup thinly sliced celery

    • 1 cup chopped carrots

    • ½ cup chopped onions

    • 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced

    • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

    • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

    • ½ teaspoon salt

    • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

    • 2 cups cooked wild rice

    • ½ cup heavy cream

    • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

    1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add celery, carrots and onions and cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until the mushroom liquid has mostly evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add flour, pepper and salt and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more.

    2. Add broth and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in rice, cream, lemon juice and parsley and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes more.
