Ingredients

  • 1 pound carrots
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large shallot minced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • ½ cup uncooked wild rice
  • 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 to 2 cups water
  • cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • Zest and juice from one lemon

Instructions

  • Scrub the carrots, trim the ends, and cut into ½” thick half circles; set aside. Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil followed by the minced shallots. Cook until the shallots are fragrant and soft; 5 to 6 minutes. Add in the garlic and the cut carrots, cook for 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • Measure in the white wine and cook until mostly evaporated. Next, add in the wild rice, broth, and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until the rice is tender; 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Taste and add more salt as desired (this will greatly depend on the broth you use).

Notes

Tips & Tricks: I like to start with just the 3 cups of broth and add water as needed to thin out the soup. This ensures you won’t end up with an overly broth-heavy soup.
Also, if you don't have wine open already, just skip.
Stock up: get the pantry ingredients you will need: carrots, broth
