  • 1 potato, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup cashews

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Prepare your vegetables for cooking, wash and cut them.

Step 2: In a pan over medium heat, add olive oil, chopped onion, garlic, portobello mushrooms, and potato.  Fry for a few minutes.

Step 3: When the vegetables are browned, add in thyme, coconut milk, wine, and vegetable stock.  Simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 4: Pour the mixture into a blender, add in cashews, and blend on high.  You can also use a hand blender but this will take a little more time until it is smooth.

Step 5: Place the pan back on the heat, add in olive oil, sliced mushroom caps, salt, and pepper.  Sauté for a few minutes.

Step 6: Add fried mushroom caps to the soup and serve with garlic croutons.
