- 1 onion, diced
- 1 c diced baby carrots
- 1 c wild rice, rinsed

- 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.
