Creamy Wild Rice Soup.

Recipe from Heidi Swanson. 101 Cookbooks pp. 60-61

** fun fact! Wild Rice is not a rice, it’s a grass (freshwater shallow bodies of water) and considered a vegetable! It’s also higher in protein, fiber and antioxidants than other rices. CLICK HERE for more nutrition info

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or clarified butter( ghee)
  • 1.5 tsp red curry paste
  • 1 large clove garlic
  • 1 shallot chopped
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 1 cup wild rice, rinsed ( not completely necessary, but advised.. used a mesh strainer)
  • 4 cups water
  • pink himalayan salt
  • 2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tbsp cane sugar or raw honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce OR tamari ( gf)
  • 1 (14- ounce) can coconut milk
  • squeeze of lime juice

Instructions:

  • Heat 1 tbs ghee or oil in a large soup pot ober med-high heat, then add curry paste, garlic, shallot and oinion and saute for 4 mins. Make sure curry paste is evenly distributed before moving to next step
  • Stir in Wild Rice and 3 cups of water . Bring to a simmer, lower heat and cook uncovered for 40 mins or unti rice starts to soften, split and show fluffy inside.
  • When the wild rice is tender , stir in turmeric, sugar, tamari (gf soy sauce), sugar (or honey) coconut milk, remaining 1 xup of water and tsp salt.
  • Stir, return to simmer and cook for another 5 mins. Remove from heat and finish with a generous squeeze of lime juice.
  • taste and add more salt if needed.

I highly advise serving this with at least 20 more grams of protein at a meal. Easy addition = 3 eggs cooked over sauteed spinach as a side to this dish. Or a small salad with your choice of protein.
