This recipe celebrates the inherent magic of fresh mushrooms, from their earthy whispers through gentle sautéing and infusing them with a symphony of aromatic herbs. It’s a dance of textures – creamy cashew “cheese” twirling with tender mushrooms, all held together by a broth that sings with depth and character.

This creamy magic nourishes not just your taste buds, but your whole body – filling you up with antioxidants and keeping you light on calories. You need not use only button mushrooms. Swap ’em! Sourdough on the side? Absolutely! This versatile soup can be a starter or a star – the choice is yours!

Secret #1: Nature’s in Every Sauté

Celery, onion, and thyme become your brushstrokes, dancing in the pan until they release their golden secrets – caramelised sugars and intoxicating fragrances that form the foundation of this culinary masterpiece. This isn’t just browning; it’s unlocking the hidden potential of each ingredient that will resonate in every spoonful.

Secret #2: Herbs that Dance on Your Palate

While some may rely on parsley, We swear by thyme for a reason. Its earthy, lemony notes waltz perfectly with the richness of the mushrooms, creating a complex melody that tickles your taste buds. But don’t be afraid to experiment! The possibilities are endless: a whisper of rosemary, a touch of tarragon. Let your intuition be your guide, and find the perfect harmony that sings to your soul in this soup.

Secret #3: The Dreamy Creaminess, Reinvented

Gone are the days of guilt-ridden indulgence! Our creamy magic comes courtesy of homemade cashew cheese, smooth and luxurious without a drop of dairy. This plant-based wonder not only adds richness but also packs a nutritional punch, making our soup a delightful treat for body and soul. It’s a testament to the power of nature, transforming simple cashews into a culinary masterpiece that elevates every element of this dish.

Secret #4: The Broth that Elevates Every Note

While a homemade mineral broth adds layers of flavour and nutrition, don’t let its absence deter you. The inherent taste of the mushrooms shines through, creating a lighter yet equally satisfying experience. Remember, the power lies in the quality of your ingredients, not just the broth on your shelf.
