Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 pound mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 teaspoon thyme, chopped
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup wild rice (or a blend including wild rice)
- 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded
- 1 cup milk or cream
- 1 cup Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan), grated
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Cook the Mushrooms:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
- Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquids and the liquid has evaporated, about 10-15 minutes. Set aside.
Sauté Vegetables:
- In the same pot, melt another tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Add Aromatics:
- Stir in chopped garlic and thyme. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Simmer the Soup:
- Pour in chicken broth, wild rice, cooked chicken, and the cooked mushrooms (reserve some for garnish if desired).
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook until the rice is tender, about 20-30 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the type of rice used.
Add Milk and Cheese:
- Stir in milk (or cream) and grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted and incorporated into the soup.
Season and Serve:
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
Optional Enhancements:
- For an intensified mushroom flavor, soak 1 ounce of dried mushrooms in 1 cup of just boiled water for 20 minutes. Chop the soaked mushrooms and add them along with the garlic. Use the mushroom soaking water along with the chicken broth.
- For added depth, stir in 2 tablespoons of white miso paste in step 5 before seasoning with salt and pepper.
Serve:
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with reserved cooked mushrooms (if any) and additional grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes:
- This hearty Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup is comforting and flavorful, perfect for colder days.
- Adjust the thickness of the soup by adding more broth or milk as desired.
Enjoy your delicious homemade soup!
