Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups mushrooms, chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by cleaning and chopping mushrooms into uniform small pieces, finely dicing the onion, and mincing the garlic cloves.
- Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté until they become translucent and soft, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 30-45 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning and release aromatic flavors.
- Introduce chopped mushrooms to the pot, stirring to combine with onions and garlic. Cook for 5-6 minutes until mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown slightly.
- Pour in vegetable broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine all ingredients thoroughly. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer for 10-12 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and liquid to slightly reduce.
- Use an immersion blender or transfer to a standard blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy, creating a condensed texture.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or thyme to enhance the flavor profile.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving or storing. The soup can be refrigerated for up to 4-5 days in an airtight container.
Tips
- • Choose fresh, high-quality mushrooms for the most robust flavor - cremini or shiitake work wonderfully! • Don't rush the sautéing process - letting mushrooms caramelize develops deeper, more complex taste • Use an immersion blender for smoother texture and easier cleanup • For extra depth, consider adding a splash of white wine while sautéing vegetables • If you want a thicker consistency, let the soup simmer a bit longer to reduce • Store in glass containers to maintain freshness and prevent flavor absorption • This soup freezes beautifully for up to 3 months - perfect for meal prep!
