Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil or vegan butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb (450 g) organic fresh mushrooms (button, cremini, or a mix), sliced
- 1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tbsp fresh thyme)
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 4 cups vegetable broth (organic if possible)
- ½ cup coconut cream (or any unsweetened plant-based cream)
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari (optional, for depth)
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Sauté the Aromatics
- Heat olive oil or vegan butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and golden.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Cook the Mushrooms
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and begin to brown.
- Stir in thyme, black pepper, and salt. Sprinkle the flour (or cornstarch) over the mushrooms and mix well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw taste of the flour.
Simmer the Soup
- Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce (if using). Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup slightly, leaving some mushroom chunks for texture. (Alternatively, transfer half the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.)
- Stir in the coconut cream and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Serve
- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve with crusty bread or crackers.
