π Ingredients
1 cup uncooked wild rice, rinsed
1 lb cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 medium carrots, diced
3 celery stalks, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup vegan butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
6 cups vegetable broth
1 cup full-fat coconut milk (or unsweetened cashew cream)
1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
π©βπ³ Instructions
SautΓ© the veggies
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the vegan butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Brown the mushrooms
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot. Stir and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Create the roux
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste.
Simmer the soup
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce, stirring constantly to prevent any lumps. Add the rinsed wild rice, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the wild rice is tender and chewy.
Make it creamy
Stir in the coconut milk and let the soup simmer uncovered for 5 more minutes until it thickens and becomes wonderfully creamy. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste.
Garnish and serve
Ladle the warm soup into a simple ceramic bowl. Top with fresh chopped parsley and extra cracked black pepper.
Enjoy!

π‘ Tips for the Best Soup
Make sure to use true wild rice, not a quick-cook blend, for the best chewy texture and nutty flavor.
If you want an even thicker soup, you can scoop out 1 cup of the soup (make sure you get some veggies), blend it until smooth, and stir it back into the pot.
This soup thickens as it sits in the fridge, making leftovers even better the next day. Just add a splash of vegetable broth or water when reheating.
