Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 cups Wild mushrooms (cleaned and sliced)
- 6 cups Vegetable broth
- 1.5 cups Cooked wild rice
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced wild mushrooms to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Roughly chop the sun-dried tomatoes and add them to the pot along with the tomato paste. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes to develop the flavors.
Pour in the vegetable broth, then add the dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to incorporate.
Bring the soup to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer gently for 20 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it is smooth (or leave it slightly chunky if you prefer). If using a countertop blender, work in batches to avoid spills.
Stir in the cooked wild rice and let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and drizzle each portion with a swirl of heavy cream, if using. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve hot and enjoy!
