This super creamy slow cooker Vegetarian Rice Soup is super easy to throw together and absolutely delicious. It has to be… I’m super picky about what I’m willing to make in the slow cooker. Mostly because I have to haul that thing out of my “appliance cabinet” where it lives stacked and piled amongst the many other seldom used appliances that I absolutely had to have but use only occasionally, rarely, or never (I’m talking to you milkshake machine…).

So, yes, the dish has to be delicious, and this one definitely makes the cut. A vegetarian wild rice soup that’s hearty, thick and creamy and loaded with veggies. I added lots of fresh herbs, little white beans and a little wine too (because if I can, I will).

This is what I want to eat all Fall. Try it and you will want to too.

Anything special you need to know?

* You can use coconut cream in place of the cream to make this a vegan rice soup.

* You can add additional veggies if you like… zucchini, mushrooms or sweet potatoes would be good here.

* You can easily sub in regular white rice if you don’t have the wild rice blend. (I used this rice – NOT an AD, I just like it)

*Don’t want a vegetarian wild rice soup? Use chicken broth and brown a few chicken thighs to add in with the rest of the ingredients.

*A little Parm cheese add in at the end wouldn’t be the worst idea in the world. If you try it let me know!
