Delicious & Easy Instant Pot Wild Rice Soup Recipe

I had tried this soup at a friend’s place some time ago. The texture, the taste & the creaminess of this soup left me speechless. Since then it has become my new soup love.

Have I told you that I love soups? And I can have it for any meal. The Vegetable Soups are really filling, nutritious and full of flavors. A bog bowl of it can make you feel content. I often combine my soups with a home-made loaf of bread.

Finally, I gathered the ingredients and set my Instant Pot to work. And boy am I glad that I made it in the Instant Pot. The mushrooms and little kale added so much more flavor to the soup. Also, this is a lighter version of the regular WILD RICE SOUP. Isn’t it a win-win? FIGURE FRIENDLY, WEIGHT FRIENDLY, LIGHT, NUTRITIOUS & of course DELICIOUS.

It is a very simple and easy recipe that doesn’t require advanced cooking skills. You are going to use only 2 MODES in IP to make this –

SAUTE MODE
PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL MODE

What are the Ingredients of Wild Rice Soup?

Important – We use amazon affiliate links to suggest appropriate ingredients and gadgets used in a recipe.

Now I believe in adaptations and personalizing the recipes.

You might feel that there are too many ingredients in this recipe. But the fact is that you have the choice to use them all or pick and choose what you want. The only advice is not to compromise on the few spices used in the recipe.

Wild Rice Mix – I used a plain mix of wild rice. You may use any variety that you like. There are Wild Rice blends with herb mixes. Also, you may choose just Wild Rice and not a mix. The cooking time should remain the same.
Vegetable Broth, Low Sodium
Milk – You may use plant-based milk to make it Vegan. Almond Milk or Coconut Milk might work well.
Corn Starch – This makes the recipe for GLUTENFREE WILD RICE SOUP in IP. If you do not have cornstarch then you may use all-purpose flour as a substitute.
Cooking Oil or Olive Oil
Spices – Bay Leaf, Thyme, Rosemary, Oregano, Turmeric, Salt & Black Pepper. Turmeric is optional. Since it gives a beautiful color and is healing in properties, I add it to many of my soups.
Fresh Produce – Onion, Garlic, Ginger (optional), Celery, Carrots, Zucchini, Potato, Baby Portobello Mushrooms, Kale. Again, Ginger is optional. I add it to many of my soups in winter because of its digestive and warm properties.

How to make Wild Rice Soup in Instant Pot?

This is a very simple recipe with only a few steps. And can be made easily in either Instant Pot 6 quart or MEALTHY MULTIPOT.

Gather all the ingredients.

Wash & Soak the Wild Rice Mix till ready to use. Meanwhile, work on the vegetables.

Wash all the vegetables in a Kitchen Colander and set aside.

Chopping the Vegetables – It is an important step. Make sure that you chop big pieces of the vegetables. Since wild rice takes a longer time to cook, chunkier pieces of vegetables will retain their shape during the time. Peel the onion and potato. The onion needs to be chopped fine.

Insert the inner pot inside the Instant Pot and plug it in. Press SAUTE MODE and set it on HIGH. Once the screen displays HOT, add Cooking Oil to it. After few seconds add a Bay Leaf to it. Wait for few seconds and then add onion, garlic & ginger, celery, and carrots. Saute for 2 minutes.

Now add the Soaked Wild Rice + rest of the vegetables. Hold the Kale back to add later. Add Thyme, Rosemary, Oregano, Turmeric, Salt & Black Pepper + Vegetable Stock. Stir well with a spoon.

Place the lid and close it with SAFETY VALVE to SEALING. Press PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL MODE and set it t0 High for 25 minutes.

Once the timer goes off, follow NPR. Meanwhile, Prepare the slurry with corn starch and milk. Mix well with a Small Kitchen Whisk.

Open the lid and add this slurry to it. Cook on saute mode for 5 more minutes till it thickens slightly. Add chopped kale and let sit for few minutes.

Hot Wild Rice Soup is ready in IP. Serve it with some crusty bread.
