Does using wild rice in soup suck up all the broth if it is held after cooking?
This is my experience with rice and pasta. I was wondering if wild rice is less ‘needy’ in this regard and would soak up less broth.

As you many know wild rice isn't a type of rice but rather a grass. Your intuition is correct that wild rice absorbs a lot less liquid than white or brown rice. However, what you can normally buy is a mix of the two so this may not be the solution you would want to go with particularly since straight wild rice is harder to digest.
If you want rice or pasta to absorb less cook them separately and combine shortly before serving.

To keep the rice from getting mushy in soup, it's best to add cooked rice at the very end. Simmer just long enough to warm the rice through. We like classic long-grain white rice, but any variety of cooked rice will work in this soup.Should I cook rice before adding to soup?
Yes \u2013 uncooked rice is best to add into soup because it soaks up the flavour of the broth, making it extra tasty!Does wild rice need to be rinsed before cooking?
Do you need to soak or pre-rinse prior to cooking wild rice? Yes and no. While rinsing the wild rice before cooking is always a good idea, soaking it is not required. Soaking the wild rice for 15 minutes can cut the cooking time in half, but it will also result in a softer, less textured end product.Instant Pot Chicken Wild Rice Soup
