Mushroom Soup Recipe

What you'll need:

• 1/2 tablespoons olive oil or vegan butter
• 16 ounces/454g/5 1/2 cups mushrooms, sliced (including stems)
• 8 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 large onion (about 3/4 cup), finely diced
• 1 teaspoon sea salt & 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 cups high quality vegetable broth
• 1 13.5/383 can coconut milk (about 1 1/2 cups)
• 4 sprigs thyme, stems removed

Method:

1. In a large, deep pot over medium high heat, add the olive oil or vegan butter to heat.
2. Add the mushrooms, garlic, onion and salt and pepper. Stir together and sauté until mushrooms begin to release their natural juices and become fragrant, about 8 minutes.
3. Pour in the vegetable broth and the coconut milk. Add in the thyme. Stir together and bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes.
4. Scoop out two cups of soup (with some mushrooms) and pour into your blender. If you have a glass blender, ensure it cools down a bit first!
5. Press the soup setting or blend until fully blended out. Pour back into soup pot and blend one more time.
6. Serve the soup
