Creamy Wild Rice + Mushroom Soup

The Plant-Based Meal Prep series is HERE and this is the recipe we are starting with. This is a great recipe to make at the beginning of your week because it makes a whole lot and reheats so well! It gets thicker as it sits as the wild rice absorbs a lot of liquid so keep that in mind. I recommend having at least one bowl right away and then putting the rest in some containers for later. Wild rice is not a staple in my pantry but after developing this recipe, I believe it should be! So many micronutrients and fiber in wild rice.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 yellow onion, diced

  • 5 cloves of garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tbsp chili flakes, optional but I like mine a little spicy

  • 1 tsp cumin powder

  • salt + pep to taste (start with 1 tsp each and then adjust

  • 2 tbsp liquid aminos or soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp bouillon paste (or sub the water for veggie broth)

  • 4 cups roughly chopped mushrooms of choice

  • 1 cup wild rice, rinsed

  • 2 cups water (or veggie broth)

  • 1 can coconut milk or coconut cream

Directions:

  1. In a large pot, cook olive oil and onions for 4-5 minutes on medium high

  2. Add in your garlic and spices and cook until fragrant

  3. Add in your liquid aminos and bouillon paste and stir to combine

  4. Add your chopped mushrooms and coat in all the spices

  5. Cover and let cook for 5-6 minutes, should start breaking down and smelling amazing!!

  6. Add in your wild rice and stir to combine

  7. Add the water and stir so everything is submerged in the water

  8. Cover and let simmer on a medium low heat for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally

  9. Once the rice is almost finished cooking, add in your coconut milk

  10. Stir and cover once more for 10-15 minutes or until your rice is fully cooked

  11. Adjust seasoning as needed

  12. Remove from the heat and let cool before adding it to containers or enjoying it right away!

Vegan blogger with a message to share:

Veganism doesn't have to be hard, unappetizing, or unhealthy. I here to show people how to make delicious healthy recipes free of many allergens like gluten but with an extra healthy twist. Many of the recipes are completley grain-free, refined sugar-free, oil-free, and made with ingredients that are of course plant based and as close to the whole plant form as possible. There less processed it is, the better. I also write blog posts on living a vegan lifestyle. Veganism isn't just about not eat animals and their byproducts, but also not buying leather or buying cosmetic products from companies who test on animals. I am here to help people on their journey to a life free of cruelty but full of positivity and happiness. I share my vegan story, cruelty free skin care routine, makeup routines, eco-friendly household products, ethical fashion, yoga and meditation, zero waste essentials, how to throw a vegan party, pantry essentials, and so many more!
