A hearty vegetarian (and vegan) soup made with wild rice, butternut squash, kale and white beans. This Slow Cooker Wild Rice Vegetable Soup is warm, comforting and healthy!

Recipe type: Main Dish, Slow Cooker

Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 cup wild rice, rinsed and drained
• 1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into ¾-inch pieces
• 15 ounce can white beans (I used cannellini), rinsed and drained
• 4 ribs celery, chopped
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• 6 cups vegetable broth
• 6 cups chopped kale

Directions

1. Add all ingredients to the slow cooker except for the broth and kale.
2. Pour the broth into the slow cooker, and gently stir to combine.
3. Cook on low setting for about 6 hours, or on high setting for about 3 ½ hours. As all slow cookers vary, cooking time may be different in your slow cooker compared to mine. Near the end of the cook time, check to see if the rice is done. Once the rice is tender, the soup has cooked long enough.
4. Remove the bay leaf.
5. Stir kale into soup. Serve.
