Mushroom Wild Rice Soup

Today’s recipe is from Pinch of Yum! I love her recipes and I love this wild rice soup so much! And it’s easy and fast- the perfect meal! I made some adjustments to make it gf and df and subbed the onions due to a food sensitivity. We sure are fun over here 😉

Notes: 

• To make dairy free, I subbed olive oil for butter and almond milk for the milk
• To make gluten-free, I subbed arrowroot flour for flour (this sub works perfectly anytime you need to thicken or coat for frying) 
• You certainly can do the olive oil, arrowroot and almond milk on the stovetop as the original recipe suggests, but I just whisked it in a bowl and it worked great 
• I subbed one small-medium leek for the onion 
• I chop my mushrooms extra small like suggested in her original post 
• To make vegan, just sub vegetable broth for chicken broth as POY recommends

Original recipe and instructions if you don’t have an Instant Pot here. Her recipe below with my adjustments added in:

For the Instant Pot:

• 5 medium carrots, chopped
• 5 stalks celery, chopped
• 1 small-med leek, chopped (I use 1 from the Trader Joe’s pkg of 2, or if I’m at another store and it’s a large leek, I cut off the top green, dry part and only use the remainder that looks similar to an onion and is similar size to the Trader Joe’s one)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup uncooked wild rice (see notes)
• 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, chopped as small as possible 
• 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning 
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

To mix in after cooking:

• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup arrowroot flour
• 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Instant Pot: Put all the ingredients in the first list into the Instant Pot. Cook for 45 minutes (manual, high pressure). Release steam using the valve on top.
2. When the soup is done, whisk the olive oil and flour. Whisk the milk, a little bit at a time, until you have a smooth, thickened sauce. Throw a little salt in there for good measure.
3. Together: Mix the creamy sauce with the soup in the instant pot. Voila! Mushroom Wild Rice Soup.
