Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium (diced) Yellow onion
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 2 cups (sliced) White button mushrooms
• 1 medium (peeled and diced) Carrot
• 1 (diced) Celery stalk
• 1 teaspoon Thyme (fresh or dried)

• 4 cups Vegetable broth (low sodium, allergen-free)
• 1 cup Coconut milk (unsweetened, optional for creaminess)
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes, until translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add the sliced mushrooms, diced carrot, and diced celery to the pot. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 5

Season the vegetables with thyme, and add the bay leaf.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Once the mixture is simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf from the soup and discard.

Step 9

Using an immersion blender (or transferring small batches to a regular blender), puree the soup until smooth and creamy.

Step 10

Stir in the coconut milk, if using, for added richness and creaminess.

Step 11

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 12

Serve the soup base immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This base can be used as-is or further built upon for other dishes.
