Ingredients

  • 1 pound mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1 cup minced fresh onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons coconut or avocado oil  
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or other oil)
  • 2 tablespoons cassava flour (or other flour as desired.)
  • 4 cups coconut milk
  • 4 cups broth (chicken, beef, or vegetable broth. See Recipe Notes for options)
  • 3 teaspoons salt or to taste
  • 16 grinds pepper
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • parsley or other fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions

  • Wash, dry, and slice mushrooms.
  • Melt oil in large pan, if necessary.
  • Add onions and garlic. Cook for approximately 1 minute until softened.
  • Add herbs and saute a bit more.
  • Add mushrooms and cook for about 3 minutes until tender and browned.
  • Place vegetables in a medium bowl.
  • Add the second tablespoon oil to pan. Melt if needed.
  • Once melted, add flour and stir it into a paste.
  • Keeping heat at medium, add stock a little at a time to make it blend well, whisking out clumps with each addition.
  • Add coconut milk a little at a time and do the same, if needed.
  • Turn heat to medium high.
  • Return the vegetables back to the pan along with salt, pepper, and red pepper.
  • Heat well for about 2 minutes or until soup is heated through and thickened to be somewhat creamy.
  • Let cook for 3-4 minutes and then serve into bowls. Garnish with additional mushroom, thyme, and parsley, if desired.

Notes

Note that for a vegan option, as mentioned above, please use a vegan broth like this broth. This Vegetable Broth Powder works really well too. Just again, check the seasonings before adding salt.
