Ingredients

  • 4 tbsps (60 ml) olive oil
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into coins
  • 2 ribs celery, sliced
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 cup (150 g) diced butternut squash
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 6 cups (1.4 L) vegetable stock
  • 1 cup (176 g) brown and wild rice blend (I used Bob's Red Mill Brand)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 14 oz can (397 g) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary leaves

Instructions

  • In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté sliced carrots, celery, onion, and squash until the onion becomes translucent and vegetables start to become tender, about 6-7 minutes. Add in minced garlic and continue to cook for another minute or until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  • Add in vegetable broth, wild rice, bay leaves, sea salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine. Bring mixture to a simmer and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 25-35 minutes, or until rice and vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
