Now, I know my recipes usually come with plenty of tips and tricks, but this vegan rice mushroom soup recipe is so easy that it doesn’t require anything special. It’s so simple you just can’t get it wrong.

That being said, there are a few small things you ought to know before making it, like why it’s healthy and which mushrooms and rice to use. So let’s start with the first.

This creamy rice mushroom soup is super healthy

This rice and mushroom soup recipe is healthy and perfect with many diets.

Why?

Because it’s full of veggies and more specifically, with mushrooms.

These are an important ingredient in any healthy diet, not just vegan because they are packed with proteins, vitamin B and Selenium. Moreover, they are low in calories and a great source of fiber. Just check out their nutritional value.

They bring so many important nutrients to this vegan rice mushroom soup like potassium, copper and if exposed to the sun, vitamin D.

And even though mushrooms are usually white, they contain at least as many antioxidants as the colorful fruits and veggies.

So here’s my advice…

Make this vegan rice mushroom soup with as many mushrooms as you can.

Now you’re probably wondering what kind of mushrooms are best for this easy rice mushroom soup recipe, so let me answer that.

Which mushrooms are best for creamy rice mushroom soup?

Another reason why this creamy rice mushroom soup is so easy is that you can make it with any kind of mushrooms.

I used a mix of King oyster, Champignon and Pleurotus/oyster mushrooms, but you can go for Shiitake, Porcini or Portobello.

My advice is to use a mix of mushrooms as well, because this way, you’ll make the vegan rice mushroom soup more flavored and textured.

And speaking of flavors, if you really want to make the best rice mushroom soup ever, top it with a bit of grated black truffle. Trust me, this will take it to a whole new level.

And now let’s go to the second ingredient of this recipe.

Which rice to use

I made this easy rice mushroom soup with jasmine brown rice, which made it super creamy and at the same time nourishing and healthy.

Brown rice is a whole grain, considered much healthier than its white version so I strongly recommend you to use it as much as possible when cooking.

But if you don’t have it easily available then you can go for white jasmine rice or even wild rice.

Keep in mind that if you make this mushroom soup with wild rice, the cooking time will be slightly different (about 10-15min longer).

It’s worth pointing out that you can make it with any kind of rice. But again, cooking time can vary and I haven’t tested it with other kinds yet. So you would be entering a try-and-see territory.

This is not an easy thing when cooking in the Instant Pot, but if you go for the stovetop method, it’s pretty easy. Just taste the rice to see when it’s done.

So that was everything you needed to know for making this easy rice mushroom soup recipe. I told you I’d be quick this time.
