Onion, Leek and Mushroom Soup (Diabetic Friendly)

"This hearty soup combines the natural sweetness of caramelized onions with leek and mushrooms. The nutty flavor of wild rice adds something special. You can use brown rice if you prefer. This can be vegetarian by using veggie broth in place of the ask for meat broth. A food processor will make short work of the chopping."

  1. Rich, meaty and delicious. I skipped the sugar and halved the pepper. We made it with brown rice, but I bet the wild rice would be great in it too. Very comforting.
     
  2. What a wonderfully rich flavored soup!! I made using a mix shiitake and baby bella mushrooms, wild rice and 3 TBS cream sherry (did not have dry). We loved the combo of flavors and felt the sherry was a brilliant touch. Thanks so much for the post.
     
  3. Lovely soup. Our markets don't carry loose, fresh mushrooms, so I subbed in some rehydrate, dried, mixed ones, along with buttons. I also used a mix of wild/brown rice. Made for Everyday Holiday Tag game. :)
