This Creamy Mushroom Vegetable Rice Soup is cozy, hearty, and full of nourishing ingredients. Made in one pot and completely dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan, it’s an easy and satisfying meal any night of the week.
1. Add oil to a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until onion begins to brown, about 2 minutes.
2. Add garlic and Italian seasoning. Cook for 1 minute more.
3. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are soft and most liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
4. Season with 1 teaspoon sea salt, then stir in rice and vegetable broth. Scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.
5. Cover and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer until rice is soft, about 15 minutes.
6. While soup simmers, blend the white beans with 1 cup of water until smooth.
7. When rice is cooked, stir in the blended beans.
8. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in lemon juice.
9. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
10. Serve warm. Cool leftovers completely before storing.
As the soup sits, the rice will absorb more liquid. Add the remaining water (or more) to adjust consistency as needed.
Reheat gently and re-season to taste after adding more liquid.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. This soup is perfect for meal prep and gets even better the next day.
