Wild Rice, Spinach and Mushroom Soup
Sometimes the inspiration for something is just sitting in front of you. This hearty soup came about simply because these are the ingredients I had in my refrigerator on a cold, wintery day.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup wild rice
3/4 cup sliced leeks, white and light green part only
3-4 cloves minced garlic
2 cups sliced mushrooms
5 cups low sodium vegetable broth
1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce (use vegan if desired)
4 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup wild rice
3/4 cup sliced leeks, white and light green part only
3-4 cloves minced garlic
2 cups sliced mushrooms
5 cups low sodium vegetable broth
1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce (use vegan if desired)
4 cups fresh spinach
Directions:
- Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of broth, the wild rice, leek, and garlic, cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms, broth, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
- Check to make sure that the wild rice is tender. (If the rice is not tender continue cooking until it is.)
- Add the spinach to the soup, stirring until it wilts.
