- Preheat a large soup pot on medium to high heat on the stovetop and add vegan butter (or oil) to start melting.
- Once the butter or oil has melted, add the garlic, mushrooms, and onion into the pot to sautƩ for 15 minutes (until the veggies are brown and crisp) while stirring consistently for evenly cooked vegetables.

- Strain the soaked wild rice and add to a large soup pot.
- Add the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring evenly to combine ingredients.

- Remove the pot from the heat, letting it sit for 5 minutes to rest and thicken.
