SOOTHING CREAMY RICE

Steps:

• In a medium size saucepan combine rice with broth and bring the liquid to a boil over medium heat. Cover and simmer until the rice is almost tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the peas and simmer, covered 5 minutes longer. At this point you can serve half to the kids, garnished with some cheese. If you are making this for adult tastes only stir in Worcestershire, cayenne and grated cheese. Remove the pan from the heat and continue to stir until the cheese is entirely melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately before the dish gets gummy.
• To reheat leftovers and change the flavor a bit, layer the rice in a baking dish and top with some tomato sauce. Cover and reheat in a microwave or regular oven until very hot.

CREAMY CAULIFLOWER WILD RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Cook the wild rice according to package instructions. While it's cooking, proceed with making the soup.
• dd the onion, garlic and celery a large soup pot with 2 tablespoons of water and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes until starting to soften, stirring often (alternatively, you can saute the veggies in 1 tbsp of olive oil). If the pot starts to dry out at any time, add another tablespoon of water.
• Add the thyme and oregano, stir to combine and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently.
• Add the cauliflower, carrot and all of the vegetable stock and simmer over medium-low heat until the carrots and cauliflower are tender. This should take approximately 20 minutes.
• Stir in the nutritional yeast.
• Scoop half of the soup into a blender. Make sure you leave a crack in the lid to let the steam escape. Start blending on low then increase to high and blend until smooth and creamy. Once it's blended, pour it back into the soup pot with the rest of the soup. Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the pot to blend about half of the soup.
• Stir in the cooked wild rice.
• Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper, if needed.
• Serve right away with chopped fresh chives or green onion and lemon wedges.

CREAMY WILD RICE MUSHROOM SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a large soup pot or Dutch Oven (I like my 7.25 quart Le Creuset Enameled Dutch Oven) over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 2 Tablespoons butter and allow to melt. Add mushrooms then stir to coat in butter and saute until the mushrooms release their liquid, the liquid cooks off, and they begin to turn golden brown, 8-10 minutes, stirring often and turning the heat down slightly if they begin to burn. Add garlic and season with salt then continue to saute until the mushrooms are deep golden brown and become dry/tacky, 7-8 more minutes. Scoop into a bowl or plate then set aside.
• Turn heat down to medium then melt remaining 2 Tablespoons butter in pot. Add carrots, celery, and shallot/onion then stir to coat in butter and season with salt and pepper. Saute until tender, 8-10 minutes, placing a lid on top of the pot to speed up the softening process if the vegetables are taking a long time to cook. Add dried thyme then saute for 1 more minute.
• Add rice, chicken stock, and cooked mushrooms into the pot then stir to combine. Turn heat up to high to bring mixture to a boil then place a lid on top, turn heat down to low, and simmer until rice is tender, 45-60 minutes (depending on the brand you use), stirring occasionally.
• In a small dish, whisk together flour and 1/4 cup milk until smooth. Add remaining 3/4 cup milk then stir to combine, and then stream mixture into soup and stir well. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 more minutes. Remove pot from heat then let sit and thicken for 20 minutes. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if necessary then scoop into bowls and serve.
