Ingredients

Scale

Broth and Grains

  • 6 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 cup wild rice

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 8 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 ribs celery, diced
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 handfuls kale, chopped

Seasonings and Dairy Alternative

  • 1 ½ Tbsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 (14 oz) can coconut milk
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes, to build a flavorful base for the soup.
  2. Add main ingredients and simmer: Pour in the vegetable stock and add the wild rice, sliced mushrooms, diced carrots, celery, sweet potato, bay leaf, and Old Bay seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 35–40 minutes until the wild rice is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  3. Incorporate coconut milk and kale: Stir in the coconut milk and chopped kale. Cook another 5 minutes until the kale is wilted and the soup is heated through. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  4. Serve: Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy warm, ideally with crusty bread on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • For a non-vegan option, replace coconut milk with heavy cream.
  • Add shredded cooked chicken for extra protein.
  • This soup thickens as it cools; add additional broth or water when reheating to reach desired consistency.
  • Keep stirring occasionally during simmering to prevent rice from sticking to the pot bottom.
