CREAMY WILD RICE AND MUSHROOM SOUP IN A JAR
I was a member of a professional organization and we sold this soup mix in jars to raise money. It is really good, especially in the fall and winter. I will list the instructions for using it as a fund raiser at the end of the cooking instructions. Cook time is for prep and simmer time when cooking, not preparing for fund raiser. Yummy and I hope you enjoy!

- Use a large pot or Dutch oven to make the soup, as it will need plenty of room to simmer.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of mushrooms and vegetables in the soup. Some good variations include using shiitake mushrooms, cremini mushrooms, or portobello mushrooms. You could also add chopped carrots, celery, or parsnips.
- The soup can be made ahead of time and reheated when ready to serve. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- When storing the soup in jars, leave about 1 inch of headspace at the top of each jar to allow for expansion during freezing.
