Nice soup pie. It's the perfect spring soup!




Today I made Wild Rice Mushroom soup.


1 tablespoon olive oil
Half a white onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped carrots
1 1/2 cups sliced fresh white mushrooms
1/2 cup white wine, or 1/2 cup low-sodium, fat-free chicken broth
2 1/2 cups low-sodium, fat-free chicken broth
1 cup fat-free half-and-half
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Black pepper
1 cup cooked wild rice
( I substituted a small packaged rice mix without the spices)


Put olive oil in stockpot and bring to medium heat. Add chopped onion, celery and carrots. Cook until tender. Add mushrooms, white wine and chicken broth. Cover and heat through. In a bowl, blend half-and-half, flour, thyme and pepper. Then stir in cooked wild rice. Pour rice mixture into hot stockpot with vegetables. Cook over medium heat. Stir continually until thickened and bubbly.



( I cooked the flour in with the vegetables instead of mixing it with the milk. I used huge sliced baby bella mushrooms instead of the white and a full cup of carrots and celery each. I garnished with extra fresh thyme and black pepper)



It was awesome !
