Wild Mushroom Rice Soup
Description
In this soup, onions are sautéed until golden, then combined with various chopped mushrooms and fresh thyme. The mushrooms brown nicely to deepen their earthy flavor. Balsamic vinegar is added to brighten the mix before wild rice is stirred in. Vegetable broth is poured over everything and the soup is simmered for 45 minutes until rice is tender.
Before serving, oat milk is gently stirred in to provide slight creaminess and balance the robust mushroom flavors. This soup can be served as a starter or light meal, especially on cooler days.
Storage notes suggest keeping leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 4-5 days. Substitutions mention possible broth and milk swaps, and alternative herbs like oregano or parsley if thyme is unavailable.
