Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup
Description
The Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup starts by sautéing sliced mushrooms, diced red onion, and minced garlic in vegan butter or olive oil until the onions soften and mushrooms release their moisture. Flour is then sprinkled in and absorbed to create a roux-like base for thickening. Adding coconut milk and vegetable broth transforms the mixture into a creamy, simmered soup.
This cooking method produces a smooth but hearty soup, with coconut milk providing richness and a subtle sweetness that balances the savory mushroom and aromatic garlic and onion. The soup is simmered for about 15 minutes to meld flavors and thicken the texture.
Flavor is adjusted simply with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. It can be served as a comforting starter or light meal, suitable for those avoiding animal products and dairy.

Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the vegan butter and then saute the mushrooms, onion, and garlic until the onion is translucent (about 5 minutes).
