Onion, Leek and Mushroom Soup (Diabetic Friendly) image

This hearty soup combines the natural sweetness of caramelized onions with leek and mushrooms. The nutty flavor of wild rice adds something special. You can use brown rice if you prefer. This can be vegetarian by using veggie broth in place of the ask for meat broth. A food processor will make short work of the chopping.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 large onions, cut into 3/4-inch chunks (about 4 cups)
1 cup sliced leek (3 medium)
1 teaspoon Splenda brown sugar blend (or 2 tsps brown sugar)
3 cups sliced fresh mushrooms, such as shiitake, button or 3 cups brown button mushrooms
1 cup finely chopped carrot (2 medium)
1 (14 ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 3/4 cups de-fatted beef broth (also reduced-sodium and should not be too strong)

2 tablespoons dry sherry (optional)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup cold water
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Uncover; stir in brown sugar. Cook and stir over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes more or until onions and leeks are golden brown.
  • Stir mushrooms and carrots into onion mixture. Cook and stir over medium heat about 3 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Stir in chicken broth, the 1-3/4 cups beef broth, cooked rice, sherry (if desired), and pepper.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it needs a few tweaks. I added a bay leaf and some thyme, and I also used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.

I would have liked the soup to be a little thicker. Next time, I'll try adding a cornstarch slurry.
