Here in Philly we've been having major snow! YAY! And not only is it beautifying the entire city, its also giving me time to play in the warm kitchen. After yesterdays walk in the park, snow octopus building, snow volleyball, and of coarse snowball fight, all I wanted to eat was a bowl of warm delicious soup. My all time favorite soup is Wild Rice ... I added shitake mushrooms which gives it a nice meaty texture.
Wild Rice Soup with Shitake Mushrooms
- 3 tbsp earth balance
-2 small yellow onions - finely chopped
-1 cup diced shitake mushrooms *
-3 1/2 cups water
-1/2 cup soaked (24 hrs.) raw cashews
-1 tbsp olive oil
-1/2 cup wild rice
-1/2 cup hemp milk
-salt and pepper to taste
In a large soup pot on med-high heat melt the earth balance and saute with the onions and mushrooms until soft (about 5 mns). Add your water and bring to a boil. While the water is boiling, blend the cashews with the olive oil until thick and creamy. Once the water is boiling, stir in the rice and cashew blend, turn down heat to a simmer and let sit covered for one hour.
Add the hemp milk and salt and pepper to taste.
Enjoy!!
my favorite!!!
