Onion, Leek and Mushroom Soup (Diabetic Friendly) image

This hearty soup combines the natural sweetness of caramelized onions with leek and mushrooms. The nutty flavor of wild rice adds something special. You can use brown rice if you prefer. This can be vegetarian by using veggie broth in place of the ask for meat broth. A food processor will make short work of the chopping.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 large onions, cut into 3/4-inch chunks (about 4 cups)
1 cup sliced leek (3 medium)
1 teaspoon Splenda brown sugar blend (or 2 tsps brown sugar)
3 cups sliced fresh mushrooms, such as shiitake, button or 3 cups brown button mushrooms
1 cup finely chopped carrot (2 medium)
1 (14 ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 3/4 cups de-fatted beef broth (also reduced-sodium and should not be too strong)
1 1/2 cups cooked wild rice or 1 1/2 cups brown rice
2 tablespoons dry sherry (optional)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup cold water
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook onion and leeks in hot oil, covered, for 13 to 15 minutes or until onions and leeks are tender, stirring occasionally. Uncover; stir in brown sugar. Cook and stir over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes more or until onions and leeks are golden brown.
  • Stir mushrooms and carrots into onion mixture. Cook and stir over medium heat about 3 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Stir in chicken broth, the 1-3/4 cups beef broth, cooked rice, sherry (if desired), and pepper.
  • In a screw-top jar combine the 1/2 cup cold water and flour. Cover and shake until smooth; stir into the soup mixture. Cook and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Makes four 1-3/4-cup servings.

I'm not a big fan of onion soup, but this one is really good. The leeks and mushrooms add a lot of flavor and depth. I also like that it's not too thick or creamy.
