Cozy up with a bowl of this rich, velvety soup packed with earthy mushrooms, hearty wild rice, and a touch of Tuscan-inspired creaminess.
It’s comfort food at its finest—simple, satisfying, and loaded with flavor!
Note: This is an overview. See recipe card below for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
1. Sauté the Aromatics & Mushrooms
Heat olive oil in a large pot and cook onions, garlic, and mushrooms until golden and fragrant. This builds the deep, savory base of the soup.
2. Toast the Wild Rice
Stir in the wild rice and let it toast slightly—this enhances its nutty flavor. Then, add the broth and herbs, bringing everything to a gentle simmer.
3. Simmer Until Tender
Let the soup simmer until the rice is tender but still slightly chewy (about 45 minutes). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. Add Cream & Spinach
Once the rice is cooked, stir in heavy cream (or a dairy-free alternative) and fresh spinach. Let it wilt into the soup for a pop of color and freshness.
5. Finish with Parmesan & Seasoning
Off the heat, stir in grated Parmesan (if using), then season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon for brightness. Serve hot with crusty bread!
