Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup wild rice
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup mushrooms, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme

Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Chop your carrots, celery, onion, and mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and rinse the wild rice under cold water.
- Sauté the veggies: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion first, cooking until translucent (about 5 minutes), then add carrots and celery.
- Add the garlic and mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
- Incorporate the wild rice and let it toast for a minute, then pour in the broth and bring to a boil, lowering heat to simmer.
- Time for the herbs: Stir in thyme and rosemary, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes until the rice is tender.
- Finish it off by stirring in heavy cream, warming for an additional 5-10 minutes, and adjusting seasoning.
- Serve in bowls with garnishes like fresh thyme or grated Parmesan and enjoy!
Notes
Can substitute wild rice with long-grain brown rice. Freeze leftovers for future meals and serve with crusty bread.
