Equipment
Ingredients
Soup Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 1 cup celery diced (about 4 celery ribs)
- 1 cup carrots diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2-3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 8 cups low sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup wild rice blend
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Roux
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1/4 teaspoon all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
Instructions
- Add onion, celery, carrots, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, broth, wild rice, salt, and pepper to your slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or low for 7 to 8 hours.
- When done, remove bay leaf and thyme stems.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, add the butter. Once melted, stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the milk until no lumps remain. Continue to cook another minute, or until thick and creamy.
- Add the flour mixture to the slow cooker. Stir to combine. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
Notes
- The flour mixture might be really thick. This is okay. Once you add it to the soup, it’ll liquify and make the soup nice and creamy. Just use a fork to help it mix into the soup.
