LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — What better way to deal with these cold temperatures outside than a warm bowl of wild rice and mushroom soup?
Dr. Tionna Jenkins with Plate it Healthy shares a vegan wild rice and mushroom soup recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of wild rice
- 4 cups of mushrooms (diced)
- ½ white onion (diced)
- 2 tablespoons of minced garlic
- ½ cup of green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 cup of red bell peppers (diced)
- 2 tablespoons of vegan butter
- 1-2 tablespoons of fresh parsley (diced)
- 14 once can of coconut milk
- Kosher salt (season to taste)
- Pepper (season to taste)
- Garlic Salt (season to taste)
- Minced dry garlic (season to taste)
Put ingredients in a cast-iron skillet and brown for 5 to 10 minutes. Use any seasonings you like to taste. Next, add cooked wild rice, mushrooms, and coconut milk.
“Wild rice is so versatile and is a really good option if you want to add in more bulk to your meal. It has a lot of fiber and protein and is really hearty, which is great for these cold temperatures,” says Dr. Tiona Jenkins.
Jenkins says wild rice is a good plant-based substitute if you are needing some bulk that you would get from a meat-based diet.
The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
