INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 large Onion – diced

  • 1 package white button mushrooms – 10 oz sliced

  • 1 package baby portobello mushrooms – 10 oz sliced

  • 10 stalks fresh thyme – leaves removed

  • 1 cup vegetable broth

  • 1 tsp cornstarch

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 1 dried bay leaf

  • 1/2 tbs coconut aminos – liquid aminos as an alternative

  • 1/2 tsp salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a large saucepan, over medium heat, add the diced onions. Allow to sweat while slicing the mushrooms. About 5-7 minutes. Move onions to the sides of the saucepan and add mushrooms, allow to cook 5 minutes uncovered. Stir the onions and mushrooms together. Add fresh thyme and allow to continue to cook, at least 10 minutes. You will notice a substantial amount of water has come out of the mushrooms, and they are reduced in volume by half. Add the bay leaf, the salt and the liquid aminos to the mushrooms. Stir the 1 tbs of cornstarch into the vegetable broth. add mushrooms and stir. Add milk. Allow to cook for at least 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and add freshly ground black pepper to taste.
 

NOTES:

  • This soup is amazing the next day as well and can easily be doubled or tripled.

  • To make the soup creamier, you can blend half the soup in a high-speed blender (be careful, it’s hot).

  • To thicken the soup even more, you can add a can of drained white beans or boiled potatoes.

  • A mixture of cremini (baby portobello) and white button mushrooms are best. However, you can use all cremini or all white button mushrooms if you need to.

  • If you don’t have fresh thyme, you can use 1 tsp of dried thyme. Enjoy!
