Directions
- In a saucepan, combine water and mushrooms. Cover, and let mushrooms sit for 15 minutes, before draining and placing mushrooms into the insert of a 4-quart slow cooker.
- Add onion, carrots, and rice. Pour in broth.
- Cover and cook on Low for 6 to 7 hours, or on High for about 3 1⁄2 hours.
Notes
This makes a wonderful light meal. Shiitake mushrooms provide lots of flavor to this classic soup. The wild rice bursts a bit while slow cooking, resembling barley.
