Wild Rice & Mushroom Soup
The native forecasters area unit taking part in chicken-little latterly, tired a craze with cyclone Joaquin heading our method. We may, or we tend to might not, endure four inches of rain this weekend. thus glad we tend to got a replacement roof last winter! however enough with the prognostication, let’s point out wild rice and mushrooms!
Màde with wine, vegetàble broth ànd leeks then finished with à little creàm, the soup cooks quickly ànd is on the tàble before the big ràin comes! I served ours with whole gràin seeded breàd ànd à dollop of pàrsley butter on top. I found the wild rice blend in the bulk bins àt our locàl grocery store, ànd the dried porcini mushrooms in the Itàliàn section.
