mushroom leek soup Ingredients

  • Olive oil
  • Leeks white and light green parts only, clean and thinly sliced. Save the dark green parts for your homemade vegetable stock.
  • Cremini mushrooms, cleaned and thinly sliced.
  • Vinegar. Use white wine vinegar, red wine vinegar, or sherry vinegar or skip it but it adds such great brightness to the soup.
  • Rice. Mix wild rice, brown rice, long-grain rice, or just one type.
  • Water or vegetable broth
  • Dried thyme

How to clean leeks

Cleaning is important to remove any dirt and sand trapped between the layers. Here’s how to clean leeks:

  • Cut off the dark green leaves and save them for vegetable broth.
  • Cut the white and light green part of the leek in half lengthwise.
  • Rinse the leeks thoroughly under running water, separating the layers to allow water to flow through and remove any dirt.
  • Pat the leeks dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen cloth.
  • And that’s it! Your leeks are now clean and ready to be used.

How to make leek mushroom soup

  • Add the olive oil and sliced leeks to a large pot. Let the leek sweat over medium-low heat or until translucent. Put the mushrooms in, stir until the mushrooms are soft, and begin to scorch a bit to the bottom of the pot.
  • Add 1 or two tablespoons of vinegar and deglaze the pan for 30 seconds to a minute.
  • Add the 6 cups water, rice, dried thyme, and salt. Cover and leave for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked.
  • Serve in bowls and finish with a dash of extra virgin olive oil. Eat it with a salad and a good piece of french bread.
