Wild rice soup is a hearty and comforting meal made wild rice, vegetables, herb, broth, and cream. It comes together easily on the stove top or in the instant pot.

Instructions
STOVE TOP INSTRUCTIONS
In a large stock pot, saute olive oil, flour, garlic, nutmeg, paprika, and mustard over medium-low heat for a few minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
Add almonds, mushrooms, onions and carrots. Continue to saute until onions are translucent.
Add broth and bring to a gentle simmer, 5 - 10 minutes until carrots are tender and mushrooms are soft.
Stir in cooked rice and parsley (reserving a little bit of parsley for garnishing). Then, stir in heavy cream in ¼ cup increments, until you reach the desired finish. (I’m partial to one cup of cream).
Finish with salt, pepper, and remaining parsley.
INSTANT POT INSTRUCTIONS
Using saute mode, cook olive oil, flour, garlic, nutmeg, paprika, and mustard for a few minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
Add almonds, mushrooms, carrots, and onions. Continue to saute until onions are translucent.
Add broth and deglaze bottom of pot making sure to scrape up anything that was cooked to the surface.
Cover and turn to sealing. Set for 5 minutes on manual then do a careful quick pressure release (if it sputters when you release, then do it in short increments or allow a 10 minute natural pressure release).
Stir in cooked rice and parsley (reserving a little bit of parsley for garnishing). Then, stir in heavy cream in ¼ cup increments, until you reach the desired finish. (I’m partial to one cup of cream).
Finish with salt, pepper, and remaining parsley.

Notes
The flour is entirely optional. It is used to give the soup a little bit of body/thickness. If you want to keep the soup gluten-free it will be just as good without the flour!
If you want to thicken the soup without flour (or find that it needs a little more thickness when it’s done), stir in a slurry of 2 tablespoons cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water at the end while it is simmering. Do this until you reach your desired consistency.
