Vegan Creamy Wild Rice & Vegetable Stew

This Vegan Creamy Wild Rice & Vegetable Stew is creamy, made in one pot, and perfect for a weeknight meal! It’s so comforting, filling, and incredibly easy to make.

To say I loved this stew would be an understatement. I loved using mushrooms to “beef up” the stew, and they added such a delicious umami flavor to the stew itself. The rice is delicious in every bite and adds a beautiful texture. Plus, it’s so pretty, right?!

Mushroom Wild Rice Stew Tips:

If you’re making this – I would recommend using only wild rice. I saw lots of wild rice blends, but they will definitely cook at a different time than what I’m recommending and might result in soggy or mushy rice. I’ll add a few tips down below so you can customize it for your own taste. But another top tip is if you want your stew to be thicker, you can stir in another tablespoon or two of flour. Add in a little hot broth into a ramekin to blend it out first, then add it to the stew, mixing vigorously. If you want your soup thinner, add that extra ½ cup liquid in the ingredients.

Just be aware, that wild rice cooks slowly! It’s nothing like any other rice, hence the reason why there is such a long-simmering for this stew. You can let it cook, and get on with your bits in the house, just make sure you check it every 15 minutes to stir it and check whether you may need to add more broth/water.

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• Sprinkle the flour over, and stir to combine. Add in the wild rice, vegetable broth, dried oregano, and fresh thyme. Season generously with sea salt and ground black pepper.
• Bring everything to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for about 50 to 60 minutes, until the wild rice is completely fluffed up and cooked through.

Notes

1. If you want your stew to be thicker, you can stir in another tablespoon or two of flour. Add in a little hot broth into a ramekin to blend it out first, then add it to the soup, mixing vigorously. If you want your stew thinner, add that extra ½ cup liquid in the ingredients.
2. I used gluten-free flour. But you can use regular flour if you’re not gluten-free.
3. You can increase the servings of anything apart from the rice.
4. This recipe can easily be doubled.
5. For the coconut milk, you can use canned OR boxed. I have tried both and they are both amazing. If you’re not concerned about calories, I would highly recommend the canned for that extra creaminess that it adds.
