    Well folks with winter well and truely upon us I'm sure we're all looking for something comforting to eat at this time of year. So look no further than this tasty healthy mushroom and rice soup! 

    This is a lovely thick and creamy soup and just like my creamless cream of mushroom soup it's actually made with no cream! 

    It's an excellent soup for both lunch or dinner.

    As I said in the introduction this soup is extremely filling so you can eat it on it's own as a filling meal.

    You could also serve it with a slice of wholemeal bread to help mop up the remains of that delicious stock from your soup bowl!

    As a vegetarian soup this is also an excellent healthy option for Meatless Monday's.

    The health benefits of those mushrooms are numerous. For example I bet you didn't know that mushrooms are one of the few non-animal sources of vitamin D?

    They are also great source of vitamins and minerals, antioxidants and fibre.

    Studies have also shown that they may help lower cholesterol because their nutrients help prevent cells from sticking to blood vessel walls and creating blockages.

    This healthy mushroom and rice soup also uses brown rice instead of white rice.

    Brown rice is healthier and much more nutritious than white rice.

    Unlike white rice, which has been refined, brown rice retains the bran layer and as such is a wholegrain and high in fibre.

    Brown rice is also considered a low glycemic index food. This means it can help in diabetes management by keeping blood sugar levels steady.

    Healthy Mushroom and Rice Soup Recipe

    This soup will store for 2 - 3 days covered in your fridge and can easily be reheated on your stove or in your microwave.

    You might need to add a little bit more hot water or vegetable stock as the longer you leave it the more the rice will soak up the liquid.

    You can also freeze this mushroom and rice soup. I suggest portioning it into individual containers before freezing. Make sure the soup is thoroughly defrosted before reheating.

      We just used a big container of mushrooms for our dinner last night. I always forget how good they can be! Winter has most definitely arrived here - it's cold as the dickens out there! This sounds like a great way to warm up - thanks for sharing! Happy belated New Year, my friend!

      That looks amazing, reminds me of a Filipino arrozcaldo but a vegetarian version. Those mushrooms would definitely bring lots of flavours to the dish

      January is definitely the month when I want to have my meals lighter and healthier yet still filling and hearty. The combination of rice and mushrooms definitely fits the bill. Perfect for other windy and cold weather situation 🙂
