Make this Vegan Mushroom Wild Rice Soup for a flavorful, yet simple meal. This soup is completely plant-based, gluten-free, and oil-free. Made with only a few simple ingredients!
Lent begins this week, and that means meatless meals on Fridays! But what if it was more than that?
I've teamed up with Therese, founder of Lovely Lady Linens, who has a beautiful tradition of making soups during Lent.
There's something about soup, how it's still filling, but not exactly a full meal, that makes it perfect to eat during Lent. Lent is this time when we are supposed to live more simply, fast from earthly pleasures, and grow closer to God.
So, I developed this Vegan Wild Rice Mushroom Soup recipe in partnership with Therese, and photographed it with her beautiful Immaculata tablecloth.
This recipe is simple, yet flavorful, and we hope that when you make it you are, guided by Our Lady, to enter more deeply into the Lenten season.

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Yellow Onion: you could also use a white or red onion
- Celery
- Garlic
- Gluten-Free Flour: I used oat flour, but you can use any gluten free flour like GF all purpose flour. Or if you're not gluten-free, any flour will work.
- Wild Rice Blend: you can find wild rice at any grocery store. You could also sub brown rice or any rice with a 40-50 minute cook time
- Red Wine Vinegar: you could also use red wine or white wine vinegar
- Cremini Mushrooms: I love the flavor and texture of creminis, so that's what I used. You could sub regular button mushrooms or any other mushroom of choice
- Poultry Seasoning
- Herbs De Provence
- Salt
- Vegetable Broth: use a broth with no added sugar or other additives
- Vegan Cream of choice: I used vegan yogurt, but you could also use cashew cream or canned coconut milk
