Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, small dice
4 celery stalks, small dice
3 carrots, peel and small dice
6 thyme sprigs
2 bay leaves
2 cups baby bella mushrooms, sliced
2 cups shiitake mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 cup California wild rice
½ cup California white wine (we used Sauvignon Blanc)
2 quarts vegetable stock, homemade or store-bought
4 cups of washed and sliced collard greens
½ cup heavy cream
¼ teaspoon Boonville Sugar Rush Chili Powder (or substitute smoked paprika, click here to learn about Boonville Barn)
4 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons black pepper

Instructions

Heat butter and oil in stock pot or Dutch oven on medium-high heat. Add onions, celery, carrots, thyme, bay leaves, and spices and cook until onions are translucent, about 6 minutes. Add garlic, mushrooms, and wild rice while stirring constantly for about 2 minutes. Pour in white wine and allow to cook down until it is almost evaporated.
After the wine has reduced, remove the thyme sprigs and add vegetable stock and collard greens. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes to an hour, or until the rice is tender.
Stir in heavy cream and taste for seasoning.
Soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days in a tightly sealed container.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute more olive oil for butter and leave out the cream.

For a plant-based version, substitute your favorite dairy-free butter and milk.
