Author Notes
This is the perfect soup for bridging the gap between winter and spring, when fresh mushrooms and other market fare are calling but the temperatures are still hovering above forty. Coconut milk creates creaminess without weighing the soup down, and mushrooms add plenty of texture and umami. —Gena Hamshaw

Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon
olive oil
-
1
large yellow onion, diced
-
2
celery stalks, diced
-
2
carrots, diced
-
1 pound
mushrooms, diced (I used a 50/50 mixture of baby bella and shiitake)
-
2
cloves garlic, minced
-
1/2 cup
white wine (optional)
-
1 teaspoon
crushed thyme
-
1 teaspoon
dried rosemary
-
1
bay leaf
-
4 cups
low-sodium vegetable broth
-
1 cup
water
-
1 cup
wild rice
-
1 cup
full fat, canned coconut milk or cashew cream (https://food52.com/recipes...)
-
1 pinch
black pepper, to taste
-
1 splash
white wine or sherry vinegar
Directions
-
In a large soup or stock pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrots. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent. Add the mushrooms, garlic, and white wine, along with a pinch of salt. Cover the pot and allow the mushrooms to cook down for a minute or two. Uncover and cook, stirring frequently, for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the mushrooms have released their juices and cooked down considerably.
-
Add the thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, broth, water, and rice to the pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the wild rice is tender.
-
Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Stir in the coconut milk, black pepper, and a splash of vinegar, if desired. Adjust seasonings as needed and serve. The soup will thicken up considerably over time, so feel free to add a bit more water or coconut milk as desired.
