Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
Slice the cremini mushrooms and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
In a medium-sized pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the garlic and mushrooms, and cook for 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are slightly browned.
Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir well to coat with the mushroom mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the soy sauce, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the chopped parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy the savory, dairy-free mushroom rice.
