Another great recipe! I tried three of your recipes recently and all came out great!
For this one I went kind of freestyle with some ingredients and used basmati rice because I didn’t have wild one anymore. It still turned out wonderful! And adding spinach at the end was great too!
As always thank you for your wonderful recipes!
I followed the recipe exactly and it was fantastic! Thank you Richa!
Hooray! That’s great to hear, thank you for the great review! 🙂
Could I substitute mashed potatoes instead of the cream cheese.
That’s a great idea!!!
I love this soup so I doubled the recipe, used cashew cream and soy curls. Does it freeze well?
I made this with Nutritional Yeast instead of cream cheese, and added tons of spinach and garnished it with a bit of steamed corn for my kids. Delish!
Hi,
Can I use nutritional yeast instead of cream cheese?
Thanks!
that should work find – you will have a less creamy result.
Thanks, Richa. I just love your recipes because you always come up with unusual combinations that I wouldn’t necessarily think of. I made this last night, used 2 cups of almond milk instead of water. Used cajun seasoning instead of taco seasoning, black thai rice instead of wild rice. It was super spicy and delicious.
This was amazing. I used only wild rice.
This recipe is tasty though the end product is much more like a creamy risotto than a soup. Veggie broth improved the flavor and I seasoned with rosemary, fenugreek, lemon pepper, and skipped the salsa and taco seasoning. I used (dairy) cream cheese which can work well for non-vegans!
This was excellent. I doubled it for my family, and am glad I did. I couldn’t get a jalapeño so left it out, and it was still plenty spicy from the taco seasoning and salsa. Used cashew cream, but will try cream cheese next time. We all enjoyed this and it’s definitely a remake. Thanks!
Hi
Can coconut milk be used instead of cashew or cream cheese?
Yes
