Creamy and comforting lentil wild rice mushroom soup made in the slow cooker – it doesn’t get any cozier that this!
We had the coziest day here yesterday. It was snowing so peacefully outside, and we had such a pretty view out our window of the large flakes drifting down. It felt nice to be snug inside with my boys, playing games and relaxing.
Days like that are perfect for having a comforting meal cooking in the slow cooker. This lentil wild rice mushroom soup is just right for an easy, warming meal on a cold winter day. This soup is full of hearty goodness from lentils, wild rice, and my favorite – mushrooms! Coconut cream makes this soup extra delicious. And don’t worry – this soup doesn’t taste like coconuts. The coconut cream just blends in nicely with all the savory flavors.
