Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup wild rice, rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 8 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • to taste Salt and black pepper
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or a plant-based alternative)
  • to garnish Fresh parsley

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the garlic, carrots, and celery. Continue to sauté for another 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth, wild rice, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has split open.
  5. Stir in the cream and let it heat through for about 5 more minutes.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to substitute the heavy cream for coconut milk or a plant-based cream for a dairy-free option. You can also swap in other vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers as per your preference.
