Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds mushrooms
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons arrowroot starch
  • 1 1/2 cups bone broth or stock
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 lemon
  • 4 teaspoons parsley
Directions
  1. Rinse, pat dry, and slice mushrooms about 1/4″ thick. Chop the onion and garlic.
  2. Set a large stock pot on medium heat. Once hot, add 1/4 cup olive oil, onion, and garlic and stir.

  8. Use an immersion blender or ladle into a standing blender and puree until smooth.
  9. Divide into 4 soup bowls and top with the reserved mushrooms and fresh chopped parsley. Add another squeeze of lemon and/or drizzle of EVOO if you wish.

Delicious, everything I hope it would be. I used a mix of shiitake, oyster, cremini and white mushrooms. Substituted cashew milk for the coconut milk and about a teaspoon of black pepper.
