Heat a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the butter to the preheated pan and allow to melt. Once melted, add the shallots and garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the carrots and celery and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the mushrooms to the pot. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and add the fresh thyme and sage. Allow the mixture to cook an additional 2 minutes.
Add the vegetable broth and wild rice. Season again with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and let the soup simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Scoop 2 cups of the soup into a deep, heat-safe bowl. Add the coconut milk. With an immersion blender, blend the soup mixture until smooth. Pour mixture back into soup pot and stir to blend. *If the consistency of the soup is too thick for your liking, add an additional cup of vegetable broth.
Ladle soup into bowls. Serve with your favorite side of bread and enjoy!
