Creamy Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup
It’s soup season babyyyyyy. We had a 50 degree day the other day and I’m here for it. I’m in it. I’m craving soup. But I’m also craving ramen…which is also soup. Brian and I have this tradition that when it snows, we go out and get ramen. We both hate the snow so we might as well enjoy something when it snows. But we’re not quite there yet. So for now, I’m making chili on Monday night football nights, and making soup on random weeknights. Soup is underrated and undercelebrated. Let’s change that, ok? Cool.
Did I really just say ‘Monday night football nights’? What TF am I? I have a child and now I’m supporting a sport that drives me insane and I still deeply dislike? I guess so. Well here’s the thing – all of my husband’s family members are out here now. His sister moved here 10 years ago, his brother moved a year ago, and then his mom moved 6 months ago. So they are all here and most of them (luckily not my sister-in-law, so we can bitch together) want to watch the big games, especially Chiefs games. So I’ve stopped fighting it and I’ve embraced it. And by embraced it, I mean I make chili or soup or arepas, they all yell at the TV screen, and my sister-in-law and I talk about the latest social media gossip, like Tristan and Khloe scandals. Do I care about the bad call the ref made on Mahomes or Brady? No. But I do care about Khloe’s makeup choices. Guys always act like they don’t like drama, yet they revel in the twitter wars that go on after every game. Anyone else kind of surprised Twitter is still around or is that just me?
I’m just happy to say I don’t despise football anymore. I definitely don’t give two flying f*cks about it, but I do really appreciate how productive it has made me. If I need to finish a project, football is kind of like putting on white noise – you just get in the zone and bust it out. I wonder what Avery will be like when she grows up, having a family divided in their feelings towards sports. Will she want to watch it? Will she care? Will she be annoyed? Will she play it? I’m totally cool with her loving football, but I hope to drill into her brain that the most important part to any sport is simply the food. It’s just a fact.

I’ve been craving soup and mushrooms like crazy lately– divine timing checking this post out! I noticed heavy cream on the list and after years of being dairy-free have been loving raw milk especially these days, so I’m not too shy to give this a shot without begging for a substitution. By the way, when people look at Khloe, all they see is her commitment to self-hate with her endless plastic surgeries, cosmetic procedures, and diets, rather than anything positive- It’s why she’s alone and stuck spiraling in her own toxic shame. Very sad and truly sick- white trash completely, the entire family. P.S. No worries if you don’t post this after moderating– in fact I prefer you just check out my message and don’t;)

I got into football when I was in college (Go Bruins!) and now I am in a fantasy football league that makes it fun to watch the games. But the food is a very important part!
This soup is on my roster, and now I want chili!
How do you clean your mushrooms? I hate the wet papertowel method! Love your recipes 😋
just a dry paper towel for me!
What do you suggest to substitute the heavy cream ?? My tummy does not do cream very well
