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
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.
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.
