Wild Rice and Mushroom Comfort Food
Slow Cooker Vegan Soup
When the weather cools down, this slow cooker vegan wild rice soup is a lovely way to warm up.
The slow cooker cooks it to perfection, so the creamy vegan soup is comforting and satisfying.
There is something wonderful about making soup in a crock pot, since the house smells delicious for hours as it simmers.
Wild rice and mushrooms are the two most prominent ingredients, but the other veggies give added flavor to every bite.
Onions, carrots, garlic and celery are finely minced, so you will taste them even if they aren’t as visible as the other ingredients.
The soup is vegan, so there is no meat stock or dairy.
However, it is still creamy.
There are pureed cannellini beans and coconut milk, which give it a creamy texture and added nutrition.
You can either cook this on a high or low setting, so the cook time can fit into your schedule.
Enjoy this for a lively family dinner or snuggle up by the fireplace with a book and a bowl of this vegan mushroom wild rice soup.
