Home > Cremini Mushroom and Roasted Garlic Rice Soup

  1. Melt butter in a large non-stick stockpot over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook about 10 minutes, stirring periodically. Let mixture cool slightly.
  2. In food processor or blender, combine mushroom mixture, 1-½ cups rice, cheese and 1 cup broth. Pulse mixture until mushrooms are finely chopped but not pureed and mixture is thoroughly combined. Return mixture to stockpot; stir in remaining rice, broth and water. Bring to a boil; cook uncovered over medium heat 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to soup to taste.
  3. Heat bacon slices between paper towels in microwave according to package directions. Chop bacon and set aside.
  4. To serve, ladle soup into bowls; sprinkle with bacon. Garnish with additional sauteed mushrooms and chives, sliced green onions, or other fresh herbs, such as sage or thyme.
