Day 94 Creamy Wild Rice and Asparagus Soup (check ++)

This was a wonderful soup(pg 30)and really it is a meal in a bowl. It is hardy and delicious. The men, Sam, Chris and Loren, gave me the rating, check++. KIatie and I loved it too. The color is appetizing, bright green with the black wild rice. I love Bill's method of thinkening the rice milk with cornstarch. It made it so thick and cremy. I used 2T of cornstarch and a little extra lemon. also, I used only 12 oz of rice as I felt 16 oz makes it a little too heavy. This recipe serves 5 as a full meal. We had some crusty 12 grain bread along side and we felt well satisfied.

This recipe is fairly quick to make especially if you cooked the wild rice ahead. I used Silk creamer for the cup of non-dairy cream. You can usually find it right near regular cream or half and half.

I hope you will try this one, you will be glad you did. I am constantly being amazed at how delicious some of his most simple recipes really are.

Now, what will I cook tomorrow. My son, Loren who started us on this Vegan adventure, is here for the weekend so I will have to make something really special.
