Creamy Wild Rice Soup
This nutrient-dense soup uses cashews and beans to create a creamy (dairy free) consistency.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (140 g) cashews
- 2 qt (1.9 l) vegetable broth, divided use
- 1 can (400 ml) cannellini beans, drained
- 1 cup (180 g) wild rice
- 3 (180 g) celery stalk, chopped
- 1 large (100 g) carrot, chopped
- ½ medium (80 g) yellow onion, peeled, chopped
- 5 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 Tablespoon dried thyme
- 2 dried bay leaf
- 2 teaspoons salt, optional
- 8 ounces (225 g) mushrooms, chopped or sliced
Directions
- Place cashews, cannellini beans, and 1 cup of vegetable broth into the Vitamix container and secure the lid. Run the Dips & Spreads Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 60 seconds, using the tamper to push ingredients toward the blades.
- Heat the remaining 7 cups of vegetable broth in a large saucepan or stockpot over medium heat. When broth comes to a boil, add wild rice, celery, carrot, onion, garlic, thyme, and bay leaves. Cover and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add cashew-bean mixture to vegetables; stir to combine. Add mushrooms and cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Remove the bay leaves; taste and adjust seasoning.
