Ingredients
•
1 tablespoon olive oil
•
2 large onions, chopped
•
8 cups vegetable broth
•
1/2 cup uncooked long-grain wild rice
•
4 cloves garlic, minced
•
1 pound fresh kale, chopped
•
12 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
•
2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
•
1 tablespoon lemon juice
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
1
Heat olive oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onions in the hot oil until until translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking and stirring until onion is very tender and dark brown, about 30 minutes more.
2
Pour vegetable broth into a pot and place over medium heat. Add rice and minced garlic; stir in kale and spinach, adding more broth if necessary. Add onions to the pot. Allow the greens to reduce and rice to fully cook, about 45 minutes.
3
Use an immersion blender to blend to desired consistency. Add goat cheese and use the blender again to create a creamy texture. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
