Ingredients
- 5 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
- 5 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 small onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup (6 oz/ 170 g) wild rice, uncooked
- 8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced (baby bellas, cremini, or white button)
- 4 cups (32 oz/ 907 g) vegetable, chicken, or beef stock
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp poultry seasoning
- ½ tsp Herbes De Provence
- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups milk, whole or 2%
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Instant Pot Method
- Add the first 10 ingredients in the Instant Pot and cook for 45 minutes (Press Manual, High Pressure). When the time finishes, release the steam valve on the lid.
- When the soup has finished and is releasing steam, melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk, until it is smooth and thick. Add 1 tsp salt.
- Stir the thickened sauce into the soup that is in the Instant Pot until incorporated. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Slow Cooker Method
- Cook first 10 ingredients in a slow cooker on LOW for 7-8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours. Then on the stovetop, melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk, until it is smooth and thick. Add 1 tsp salt.
- Stir the thickened sauce into the soup that is in the slow cooker until incorporated. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. *For the best results: Add the wild rice the last 2 hours of cooking on LOW or 1 1/2 hour on HIGH. If the wild rice is added the entire cooking time, it is okay but some of the rice will split open.
Notes
- If you want a thinner soup, add 1 more cup warmed stock.
- Only use plain Wild Rice for this recipe. It won't work with white, brown, or mixed rice.
