Ingredients: 

1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

½ cup wild rice

1 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms

1 ½ cups hot water

2 tablespoons unsalted margarine, divided

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

½ teaspoon dried rosemary

¼ teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon salt

1 medium potato, peeled and diced

1 ½ cups low-sodium beef broth

Black pepper to taste

 
  1. In a small saucepan, cook chicken broth and wild rice until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 45 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, soak mushrooms in hot water for 20 minutes.
  3. Drain mushrooms, reserving soaking liquid. Cut off mushroom stems and discard. Thinly slice mushrooms.
  4. In a 2 ½-quart saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon margarine. Add mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes. Transfer sauteed mushrooms to a small bowl.
  5. In the same pan, melt another tablespoon of margarine. Add onion, garlic, rosemary, thyme and salt. Sauté mixture for 8 minutes.
  6. Add the potato, beef broth and reserved mushroom soaking liquid to the sauteed onions. Cover and simmer until potato is very tender, about 13 minutes.
  7. Using a blender, or an immersion blender, puree soup until smooth. Return soup to saucepan.
  8. Stir in wild rice, mushrooms, and LACTAID® Fat-Free Lactose-Free Milk. Cover and simmer 15 minutes to blend flavors. Season with pepper.
