Ingredients

  • 2 cups baby carrots
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup wild rice
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 4 cups Water
  • 1 can evaporated milk
This soup uses a scant 1/2 cup of wild rice, but cooks it until it is very tender and almost bursting, which adds a lovely creaminess to the soup. You can always stir cooked rotisserie chicken into the finished soup to make a heartier main dish, or enjoy as-is for a soup course.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. 1. In the Instant Pot, combine the carrots, mushrooms, onion, celery, rice, garlic, poultry seasoning, salt, and water.
  2. 2. Secure the lid on the pot. Close the pressure-release valve. Select MANUAL and set the pot at HIGH pressure for 20 minutes. At the end of the cooking time, allow the pot to sit undisturbed for 10 minutes, then release any remaining pressure. Stir in the evaporated milk.
  3. 3. Use an immersion blender to purée about half the mixture. Add water, if needed, to achieve desired consistency. Serve hot.
