Creamy Wild Rice Soup

Ingredients:

  • 1 Cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/3 Cup raw cashews
  • 1/4 Cup cooked white beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 2 Tbs white miso paste
  • 2 Tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 bunch scallions, white and light green parts (chopped)
  • 1 celery stalk (chopped)
  • 1 large carrot (chopped)
  • 8 Ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1 Tsp sea salt
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 Tbs minced rosemary
  • 1 bunch of thyme (bundled)
  • 1 & 1/4 Cups cooked cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1/2 Tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 Cups water
  • 1 Cup cooked wild rice
  • 1-2 Tbs fresh lemon juice
  • 4 Cups chopped kale
  • Chopped parsley for garnish
  • Pinches of red pepper flakes

Instructions:

Place the almond milk, cashews, white beans, miso paste, and Dijon mustard in a blender and process until smooth. Set aside. Heat the olive oil in a medium-large pot over medium heat. Add the scallions, celery, carrot, mushrooms, and salt and stir. Cook, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms are tender; about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary, thyme, cannellini beans, pepper, and water and stir. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. Remove the thyme bundle and stir in the cashew mixture, rice, 1 Tbs of lemon juice, and kale. Simmer over low heat until the kale is wilted; about 5 minutes. Season to taste and serve with more lemon juice, parsley and pinches of red pepper flakes, if desired.
