Wild Rice and Mushroom Soup

Sounds like an exotic dish...this is really simple to make. Its 2 hrs before lunch, and I'm quite hungry, so I thought a chunky soup would be just right...

I had leftover steamed black rice, which I didn't really like as substitute for white rice for lunch or dinner, since it was quite dense and heavy on the stomach. So its a good idea to cook it again in a soup. I saw a recipe before using wild rice in a mushroom soup...this is what I came up with.

The fresh shitake mushroom is sometimes expensive, but this time I bought it at S&R, it really doesn't cost much per piece. I only used one big shitake, since I'm making only 1 serving of soup.

I also love spinach and its cheap this time of the year. One pack goes a long way...

So yummy and filling!
