Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 medium Carrot, diced
- 1 stalk Celery stalk, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 16 ounces Baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary, crushed
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Wild rice blend, rinsed
- 6 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Melt the butter and olive oil together.
Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are browned and most of their moisture has evaporated.
Stir in the dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the vegetables in the spices.
Add the wild rice and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40-45 minutes, or until the wild rice is tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, cornstarch, and water until smooth.
Slowly pour the cream mixture into the soup, stirring constantly. Allow the soup to simmer for 5 more minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
