Ingredients
- 1 lb button mushrooms or baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 15 oz (1 can) cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
- 8 oz Brie cheese (rind removed)
- 1.5 cups vegetable broth or stock
- 1 cup finely diced onion
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup heavy cream or half and half or whole milk
- 1-2 TBSP olive oil or avocado oil
- 2 TBSP cream cheese
- 1 bay leaf
- ¼ tsp basil
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp salt
- a pinch of parsley and red pepper flakes to taste
Instructions
- Drizzle a little olive/avocado/coconut oil at the bottom of a large pot/pan and saute mushrooms until tender, adding the minced garlic towards the end.
- While that's cooking, add your white beans and onion to a pot with veggie stock and bring to a boil.
- Reduce to medium-low heat and add a bay leaf, 1/4 tsp of salt, a crank or two of black pepper, 1/4 tsp of basil and a pinch of red pepper flakes [optional] and simmer for around 15-20 minutes.
- Once the flavors have had some time to mingle, remove the bay leaf and puree the beans/broth [in batches if needed!] with an immersion blender [or a vitamix-type blender] until the beans are creamy and perfectly smooth.
- Return to the pot and add your sauteed mushrooms and garlic along with the basil, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to simmer along with your soup.
- Next grab your dairy.
- All I had on hand was some coconut milk creamer [thickened, unsweetened coconut cream] so I added a little cream cheese to add extra creaminess to the broth. If you're using half and half or heavy cream you can skip the cream cheese. [or go nuts and add both - up to you!]
- Reduce heat so it's at the lowest setting and stir in your dairy of choice. I added the thickened coconut milk and cream cheese this time.
- Remove pot from heat entirely and stir in your cubed brie, stirring constantly as it melts.
- Taste test, adjust brie and seasonings as desired and serve alongside some crusty garlic bread for a filling and flavorful lunch or dinner! It also makes a great starter to any meal; simply serve up smaller bowls!
