Happy New Year Everyone!! I hope you all had great holidays. 🙂 After eating all the holiday treat, here I am presenting Wild Rice Soup recipe for you all. Because it has everything you need to shed those extra celeries. 🙂 Soups like Lasagna Soup. Carrot tomato soup, Thai soup, Spinach soup, minestrone soup are some of our winter staples in my home. Wild Rice and Mushroom Soup is one of them. This vegan Mushroom soup with wild rice is like pure comfort food without feeling too heavy. Before we talk about the recipe, Let’s learn about wild rice and how to cook them in different ways.

What is Wild Rice?

According to healthline.com  Despite its name, wild rice is not rice at all.  Wild rice is a whole grain that has been growing in popularity in recent years. It is very nutritious and believed to have numerous health benefits. Although it is the seed of aquatic grass, just like rice, it’s not directly related to rice. The grass grows naturally in shallow freshwater marshes and along the shores of streams and lakes. Wild rice is gluten-free.

How to Cook Wild Rice?

In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup wild rice, 3 cups water,  salt to a boil. Cover it and Cook until the rice is tender and the kernels pop open. It will take 45 to 60 minutes. Uncover the rice and fluff it with a fork. Simmer 5 additional minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain off any excess liquid, if necessary. Combine 1 cup wild rice with 2 cups boiling water and salt to taste in a 2-quart casserole with lid. Cover and bake at 350F for 1 hour. Check the wild rice. Add more water, if needed, and fluff the rice with a fork. Continue baking until the rice is tender and still moist, about 20 to 30 minutes. Combine 1 cup of Wild Rice, 3 cups of water and salt to taste in an instant pot. Cook for 45 minutes on high pressure. fluff the rice with a fork.
