Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 400 grams Fresh mushrooms, sliced (e.g., cremini or button)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (smoked or sweet)
• 4 cups Vegetable broth (low-sodium)
• 0.75 cup Full-fat coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce or tamari (optional for extra umami)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 7-8 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 5

Add the ground cumin, coriander, and paprika. Stir well to coat the mushrooms in the spices, and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly. Blend the soup using an immersion blender directly in the pot, or transfer it to a blender in batches. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Return the soup to low heat, then stir in the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, and soy sauce (if using). Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until heated through.

Step 10

Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
