COZY AUTUMN WILD RICE SOUP image

Categories     Mushroom     Rice     Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 cups vegetable stock
1 cup uncooked wild rice*
8 ounces baby bella mushrooms
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, diced
2 ribs celery, diced
1 pound sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 small white onion, peeled and diced
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 milk
2 handful kale, roughly chopped with thick stems removed
1 Kosher salt and freshly-cracked black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Heat (an extra) 1 tablespoon butter in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant.
  • Add in the vegetable stock, wild rice, mushrooms, carrots, celery, sweet potato, bay leaf and Old Bay seasoning. Stir to combine.
  • Continue cooking until the soup reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, during those final 10 minutes, prepare your cream sauce in a separate saucepan on the stove. In it, cook the butter over medium-high heat until melted. Whisk in the flour until combined, and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add in the milk, and whisk until combined. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the mixture nearly comes to a simmer and has thickened. (It should be very thick.)
  • Add the cream sauce and kale to the soup, and stir gently until combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper (plus any extra Old Bay seasoning, if you would like) as needed.

This soup is the perfect comfort food for a chilly autumn day. It's hearty, flavorful, and packed with healthy ingredients. I used wild rice, but I think brown rice or quinoa would also work well.
