Creamy Wild Rice and Mushroom Soup
I grew up in Minnesota, the Land of 10,000 Lakes, and an abundance of wild rice. Wild rice soup is a wintertime staple and since winter lasts about 9 months a year in Minnesota, I ate a ton of wild rice soup growing up. Fast forward to the literal 95F degree late October day in my San Diego kitchen when I made this wild rice and mushroom soup, sweating with my A/C cranking as this easy soup simmered, but it was so worth it. The rice seems to continue to absorb the broth as the leftover soup sits in the fridge on the following days. So if your soup is a little thin and brothy after you add the cream, don’t worry because that will absorb to a degree over time.

What to Serve with Wild Rice and Mushroom Soup
We love serving this soup with crusty bread for dipping, plus a simple green side salad or house salad for some crunch and freshness. If you want to go the homemade route, my fluffy garlic herb rolls or dinner roll are just the thing for mopping up the creamy soup.
