Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add 1 diced onion and 3 minced garlic cloves, cooking for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  2. Stir in 8 ounces of chopped cremini mushrooms. Sauté for an additional 7–10 minutes until the mushrooms soften and release their delicious juices.
  3. Add 1 cup of wild rice and 6 cups of vegetable broth to the pot. Increase the heat to high, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, covering the pot with a lid. Let it simmer for 50–60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the wild rice is tender.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream or a vegan alternative like coconut milk, ensuring it blends smoothly and heat through for about 5 minutes.
