MUSHROOM AND WILD RICE SOUP

Prep:10minCook:1h 35min

This soup is a meal in a bowl. Mushrooms provide deep flavor in this recipe, especially if you use several kinds, and they are enhanced by the liberal addition of cream. To save time, cook the wild rice-a high-protein, gluten-free grass indigenous to North America-while you chop the aromatic ingredients
