Wild Rice Mushroom Soup
This Wild Rice Mushroom Soup recipe is a subtle blend of flavors and textures; perfect for a weekday meal, elegant enough for a party
Years ago a friend served this wonderful soup to our gathering of college buds. I’ve been making it for my family ever since, and it’s become one of my favorite recipes. I’ve adapted it a little to suit my taste. Wild Rice is a classic northern ingredient. Enjoy this Wild Rice Mushroom Soup recipe!
Wild Rice Mushroom Soup
The original recipe only called for 4 oz of mushrooms, but I love mushrooms and wanted to use the whole package. Any type of onion can be used. I just happened to have a purple onion available.
Cooked chicken is optional, but I like to serve this as a meal and want the hardiness of the protein.
I cook my wild rice from raw, but know canned wild rice is available, too.
