Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 cup uncooked wild rice
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 medium carrots diced
  • 2 ribs celery diced
  • 1 large sweet potato peeled and diced
  • 1 small white onion peeled and diced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1½ tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 14 ounces unsweetened coconut milk
  • 2 large handfuls kale roughly chopped
  • Fine sea salt to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add the vegetable stock, wild rice, mushrooms, garlic, carrots, celery, sweet potato, onion, bay leaf, and Old Bay seasoning to the bowl of an Instant Pot.
  • Stir briefly to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  • Secure the lid and cook on manual/high pressure for 25 minutes.
  • When cooking is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes. Carefully open the vent to release any remaining pressure.
  • Remove the lid and carefully discard the bay leaf.
  • Stir in the coconut milk and chopped kale. Allow the kale to soften in the hot soup for a few minutes.
  • Taste the One Pot Wild Rice Soup and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper as needed.
  • Ladle into bowls and serve warm.

Notes

For a slightly more savory finish, add an extra pinch of black pepper before serving. You can also garnish each bowl with fresh parsley, sliced green onions, or a small drizzle of coconut milk.
If you prefer a less creamy soup, reduce the coconut milk slightly and replace the difference with additional vegetable stock. For extra vegetables, chopped spinach, peas, or corn can be added after pressure cooking.
