Wild Rice and Mushroom Soup
Cook time: 70min Prep time: 5min Total time: 75min
Servings: 6-8
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Heinen’s wild rice blend
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1/2 tsp. salt, plus more to taste
- 3 cups sliced wild mushrooms (maitake, shitake or baby bellas)
- 2 Tbsp. grass-fed unsalted butter
- 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 3 1/2 cups Heinen's vegetable stock
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1 Tbsp. fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Place the rice in a saucepan. Add the boiling water and salt.
- Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce the heat to low, cover and cook, without stirring, until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 40 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- In a soup pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, carrots and celery and sauté, stirring occasionally until soft, about 10 minutes.
- Increase the heat to high, add the wine and cook until reduced to about 2 Tbsp., 3-4 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium, add the fresh mushrooms and sauté, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms wilt, about 15 minutes.
- Increase the heat to high, add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, until the mushrooms are very soft, about 20 minutes.
- Add the wild rice and simmer for 5 minutes more to blend the flavors. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with the parsley and serve immediately.
