Vegan Mushroom Veloute [Oil Free]

This Vegan Mushroom Veloute is a smooth, oil-free mushroom soup made by sautéing cremini mushrooms with garlic and thyme, then simmering with vegetable broth, miso paste, and lemon juice before blending with unsweetened soy milk. The result is a creamy, savory soup that balances earthiness from mushrooms with the bright acidity of lemon, suitable for a light starter served with crusty bread.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb cremini mushrooms roughly chopped, or baby Bella mushrooms
  • 3 cloves garlic peeled & finely chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon thyme dried
  • 3 cups vegetable broth low sodium
  • 1 tablespoon White miso paste
  • 3 tablespoon lemon juice approx 1 medium lemon
  • 1 cup soy milk or plant milk of choice, unsweetened
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium pot, or deep skillet, add the mushrooms, garlic, thyme and a couple drops of water to prevent sticking. Sauté until the mushrooms are reduced, approx. 4 minutes.
  2. Add the broth, miso paste and lemon juice and bring to a low boil, cooking for about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the milk, and then use an immersion blender to puree your soup OR transfer to a blender. Taste and add salt and pepper, only if needed, and serve with crusty bread.

Notes

  • Salt only after blending to avoid over-seasoning, as miso paste and broth add saltiness.
  • Use low sodium vegetable broth or dilute regular broth with water for better salt control.
  • If you lack an immersion blender, transfer soup carefully to a blender in small batches to puree; caution required with hot liquids.
  • Leftovers keep refrigerated for up to 4 days or may be frozen for up to 3 months.
