Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon salted butter 

1 cup finely chopped onion (about 1 medium) 

3/4 cup finely chopped carrots (about 3 medium)

2 cups (about 12 ounces) fresh cremini mushrooms, quartered 

1 cup wild rice 

2 garlic cloves, minced 

6 cups chicken stock, plus more as needed 

1 bunch kale, stemmed and cut into bite-size pieces 

1 kohlrabi, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch half-moons 

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil and butter until the oil is shimmering and the butter is melted, about 2 minutes. Add the onion and carrots and saute until the onions are tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms and rice and cook for 5 minutes more, toasting the rice. Add the garlic.
  2. Add the stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Add the kale and kohlrabi, cover and simmer until the wild rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook’s Note

Some of the stock will be absorbed into the rice as it cooks. Add more stock and heat through before serving if necessary.

I really liked the soup it tasted so good and I made it for my mom and she liked it a lot as well. One thing I wish was that it told you if you were supposed to cook the rice before you put it with the carrots and mushrooms so I didn’t cook it. I put the rice in uncooked and it still worked fine but I wish the directions were more clear. Overall though this was an amazing recipe.
