Directions

  1. Heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the Onion, Celery, and Carrots. Cook ~5 to 7 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent.
  2. Add Mushrooms, Garlic, White Wine and a pinch of salt. Cover the pot and cook ~2 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring frequently, so mushrooms release their juices ~5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Add Thyme, Rosemary, Bay Leaf, Broth, Water, and Wild Rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer ~ 50-60min or until wild rice is tender.
  4. Remove Bay Leaf and stir in the Coconut Milk, Black Pepper, and a splash of Vinegar or Sherry. Adjust seasonings as needed, add Chicken Breast if desired and serve.

Note

The soup could thicken. Add more water or coconut milk or broth as desired.
