| Super-happy rainbow mushroom family! |
It's soup season here! I had this Portabello Mushroom soup once, at a restaurant, and have been dying to recreate it. It was really simple, thick, and had a pure mushroom taste to it. Total yummers. I like to thicken soups up with cashews, to make them super-creamy without detracting too much from the main flavor. This came pretty close to the restaurant version! I have a vague recipe, because that's usually how I am when I'm making something in the kitchen...vague. You know what I mean. Anyways, it's easy and makes a quick weekday meal!
Vague recipe (sorry!) for Creamy Portabello Mushroom Soup
Ingredients:
4 medium sized portabello mushrooms, sliced and diced
1 medium onion, diced
1 TBS Earth Balance Margarine
1/3 cup raw cashews
veggie broth
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Saute onion in pan with Earth Balance until soft. Add mushrooms and cook until tender.
Add cashews, mushrooms, and onions to blender and add enough veggie broth to just cover. Blend to desired thickness and add more veggie broth for thinner soup. Heat up in sauce pan and season with salt/pepper.
