01
Step 1
Start by rinsing the dried porcini mushrooms and chopping them up finely. Toss them into a large saucepan along with the chicken broth, rice, soy sauce, thyme, a pinch of salt, and the bay leaves. Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently until you’re ready for the next step.

Step 2
While that’s simmering, melt the butter in a big Dutch oven over high heat. Add the cremini mushrooms, chopped onion, and another pinch of salt. Cook everything, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and start to brown—this should take about 10 minutes.

Step 3
Next, pour the broth and rice mixture into the Dutch oven along with the carrots. Bring it back to a gentle simmer and cook until the carrots and rice are tender, about 7 to 10 minutes. Once everything is cooked through, turn off the heat, fish out the bay leaves, and give the soup a taste. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed, then serve and enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This soup is comforting and full of rich, earthy flavors from the cremini mushrooms. The rice adds a satisfying texture and makes it a hearty meal. It’s easy to prepare and perfect for any season.
How to serve
Serve this soup warm with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme on top. It pairs well with crusty bread or a light green salad for a complete meal.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to keep the mushrooms tender and the rice from becoming mushy. You can also freeze the soup for up to 2 months.
