Creamy Wild Rice Soup with Coconut Milk

By Nettie Colón

Makes 2 quarts.  You can add cooked chicken, turkey, sausage, bacon, ham, salmon, scallops or shrimp to this soup in step 3 for a heartier main course “meatier” soup.


Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup uncooked wild rice
  • 1 quart water
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup winter squash, finely diced (optional)
  • 1 medium carrot, finely chopped
  • 3 cups vegetable stock
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh sage, julienned
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon of dried cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon toasted pumpkin seeds

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Once wild rice is cooked, drain well and pour onto a sheet pan to cool. Wild rice can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to make soup. You may also freeze the rice for use at a later time.

Meanwhile, in another pot, cook the garlic, onion, mushroom, squash and carrot in oil until vegetables are almost tender. Stir in the vegetable stock and wild rice; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Slowly stir in drained rice.

Bring soup to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Reduce heat; stir in the coconut milk, sage and salt. Simmer uncovered, for about 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper.

Serve in warm bowls and garnish with dried cranberries & toasted pumpkins seeds.
