Creamy Mushroom and Rice Soup {Vegetarian + Vegan + Gluten Free + Dairy Free}

Jasmin rice and a mix of cremini and shiitake mushrooms are simmered in a creamy base infused with Mediterranean herbs and a touch of sherry vinegar to make this scrumptious vegan mushroom and rice soup. 

We just got back from Malta yesterday and are staying in Paris for a few days and oh god, it’s cold! You guys, I’m not used to the cold anymore.

After living in Australia for 5 years, I can’t deal with temperatures below 20 degrees (68F) anymore I swear. Solal says I’m a cold-blooded reptile. I’m starting to think he’s right.

Ok, ok so I can survive typical autumn and winter weather but I need a few layers (emphasis on the S). And soup – lots of soup! Bonus points if it involves mushrooms.

This Creamy Mushroom and Rice Soup is the perfect vegan comfort food for cold days!

A little digression: I’ve realized recently that some people hate mushrooms. I don’t get that. They’re so good! Love my lil’ mushrooms!

But anyway, if you’ve read this far, I’m guessing you’re part of the pro-mushroom team and for that, I say BRAVO sister (brother?)!

Anyways! This mushroom rice soup is just perfect to warm you up on a chilly day, it’s full of flavors and happens to be vegan. If you’re looking for a meatless Monday meal, this simple rice soup would be perfect.

It’s also really filling thanks to the rice, so definitely a main dish.

Now, wish me luck as I’m getting ready to visit Vienna in a few days. I’ll definitely need lots of layers and lots of mushroom and rice soup! (But I’m sure it will be magical ????✨????)

Enjoy 🙂
