I really can’t believe I haven’t shared this recipe with y’all! This Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup has been a family favorite for at least 30 years. I remember the first time my mother made it.

We had new neighbors, and they were “foodies.” Something that wasn’t as popular in the 80’s as it is now. They were coming for dinner, so my mother searched for appropriately elegant food to serve. I think it was the wild rice that elevated this dish in her mind.

Although by today’s standards, it might not be super fancy, it still is absolutely delicious. And, this Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup is the perfect comfort food dish to serve this holiday season.
