Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 12 oz mixed mushrooms sliced (cremini, shiitake, button)
  • 1 cup wild rice blend rinsed
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 cup half-and-half or 1 cup unsweetened oat milk + 2 tbsp flour for thickening
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat; sauté onion until soft, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and mushrooms; cook until mushrooms release moisture and brown, about 8–10 minutes.
  3. Stir in wild rice, thyme, and bay leaf; pour in broth and bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 35–40 minutes until rice is tender.
  5. If using oat milk, whisk flour into oat milk to smooth, then stir in; if using half-and-half, add directly and heat gently.
  6. Simmer 5 more minutes to thicken, remove bay leaf, season to taste, and garnish.
