1 cup chopped yellow onion
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary

8 cups vegetable broth
1 cup wild rice, rinsed
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
Optional: 1/4 cup heavy cream or coconut milk for a richer soup
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

For a heartier, more substantial meal, you can add cooked shredded chicken or white beans.
This cozy autumn wild rice soup is even better the next day as the flavors meld together.
Ensure your wild rice is well-rinsed to remove any grit.
