Report
A mushroom lover's delight! This creamy soup is easy to make with simple ingredients and a luscious homemade cashew cream.

Ingredients
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 1/2 lbs. mushrooms (24 oz.)
- 4 cloves garlic
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
- 2 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
For the cashew cream:
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup water
- 1 Tbsp. tamari
- 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
- Optional: up to 1 Tbsp. cornstarch (for thicker broth), 2 tsp. white miso
Instructions
- Soak cashews: Place cashews in a heat-safe bowl. Top with hot/boiling water until cashews are submerged. Set aside to soak.
- Dice onion. Clean mushrooms then slice. Set aside.
- In a stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion for 6-7 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil method, adding more as needed.)
- Meanwhile, mince garlic.
- When onions are softened, add garlic and Italian seasoning. Stir and sauté 1 minute. Add mushrooms. Stir and sauté 3-4 minutes.
- Add broth and bring to a light boil. Then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make cashew cream: Drain and rinse soaked cashews. Add all cashew cream ingredients to a small blender. Blend for 20-30 seconds until smooth. Add to soup during the last few minutes of cook time.
- Turn off heat and stir in fresh parsley. Salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Mushrooms: I use cremini (baby bella) but white button, shiitake, oyster, portobello, or a combination works.
- Thicker broth: Add up to 1 Tbsp. cornstarch in the cashew cream before blending. For extra-thick, use 1 Tbsp. For slightly thick, use 1-2 tsp. It gradually thickens the soup as it heats.
- Cashew-free: Omit cashew cream. Stir in a 14 oz. can coconut milk or 1.5 cups plant milk (plain, unsweetened, nut-free if needed). Still add the tamari and vinegar for depth of flavor.
