Time 40m

Yield 10 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 large leeks
5 cups water
1 vegetarian chicken bouillon cube
1 tablespoon dill
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3 garlic cloves
1 -3 teaspoon salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
3 celery ribs
3 white mushrooms
1 1/2-2 cups vegetarian chicken pieces
1 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup instant brown rice

Steps:

  • cut off most of the green ends of the leeks and slice in half lengthwise, leaving the root end intact to keep them all together. chop into 1/2 inch slices and toss in a strainer, wash well to break up and get rid of sand/dirt.
  • chop celery and mushrooms, mince garlic, and combine with leeks, water, broth cube, and spices in a stock pot.
  • bring to a boil and simmer for about 10-15 min or until leeks and celery are soft. in the mean time dice up the "chicken".
  • add "chicken" and rice, simmer until rice is cooked, about 5-10 min.
  • mix corn starch with cold cream and add to soup, stirring well.
  • simmer until thickened and warmed through.
