Ingredients
  • ½ cup dry wild rice
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups each sliced shiitake, cremini, and button mushrooms (for a total of 6 cups)
  • 1 cup leeks, sliced (white part only)
  • 2 cups kale, chopped (ribs removed)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced or pressed
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable stock)
  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chives, minced
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, cook wild rice according to package directions.
  2. In a large stock pot on medium heat, warm olive oil. Add mushrooms, leeks, and kale. Cook until liquid from mushrooms evaporates (about 5 mins); stirring frequently. Add in garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute more.
  3. Whisk in flour and stir constantly for a couple of minutes. Slowly whisk in broth and half-and-half until no flour lumps remain. Reduce heat to simmer and cook until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Divide in four separate bowls and add a scoop of rice to each serving.
Notes
The different types of mushrooms really make this soup, but you can also use just one or any combination of the three.
