Vegan wild rice soup is a hearty, delicious, and warming one-pot meal. It's the perfect dinner on those cold winter evenings. This flavorful soup only takes a few simple ingredients and about 30 minutes to cook. This one-pot recipe just got easier with *new* Instant-Pot instructions!
Nothing beats the smell of vegetable soup cooking on a cold winter day.
This week we are expecting a lot of rain, so I made a batch of this vegan wild rice soup. The hearty vegetables, wild rice, and white beans made this a filling meal.
Not to mention, I was able to throw it all together with ingredients I had on hand. So, no trip to the store for me on this cold wet day!

Vegan Wild Rice Soup is easy to make
It takes one pot, 3 simple steps, and about 30 minutes of cook time.
First, chop the veggies into bite-sized pieces. I used a whole yellow onion, 3 carrots, 3 celery ribs, and equivalent to 3 large garlic cloves.
Second, add them to a large soup pot along with the spices. (oregano, dried parsley, thyme, dry mustard, and salt.)
Cover and cook 5-7 min to slightly soften the veggies.
Add the wild rice and cook a few more minutes.
Third, add the remaining ingredients. (vegetable broth, water, miso, nutritional yeast, beans, and bay leaves.)
That's it!
In about 30 minutes you'll have yourself a delicious, hearty, warming soup!
When the wild rice soup is ready to serve, garnish each bowl with fresh parsley, fresh ground black pepper, and cashew parmesan.
Since this vegan wild rice soup is quick and easy to make (especially in the Instant Pot), I love pairing it with biscuits or dinner rolls to complete the meal.
I brushed the top with organic coconut oil. It paired perfectly with the soup and kept the whole family full and warm on a cold, rainy day.

In the meantime, you can omit it and add more seasoning as needed. It may lack in a bit of flavor, but should still be delicious.
