Mushroom with Wild Rice (vegan)

The chewy wild rice creates the perfect  bite and adds a beautiful texture to this soup. Smoky paprika and cashew cream make this soup creamy, earthy and vegan! Kristi's comments: When I was a young adult living in Seattle, one of my favorite fall activities was hiking through old-growth near the Puget Sound and harvesting Chantarelle mushrooms. Hiding under huge Douglas Fir trees, their unique, subdued, orange-flesh always gave them away. Since then, I've been hooked on wild mushrooms for their delicate, umami flavor, but also for the tremendous health benefits.
