Hello Stability Nutrition Friends,
Happy Wednesday!
When I awoke this morning to a surprise blanket of snow, I was gently reminded that winter still lingers. Yet, despite the chilly embrace, the air carries undeniable hints of spring. Robins flit about, and my garden begins to whisper of warmer, brighter days on the horizon.
In these moments of transition, my culinary desires lean toward dishes that combine the essence of comfort with a touch of lightness. Enter the Creamy Vegan Mushroom Soup - a creation that lovingly mirrors the creamy classics so many have come to cherish, yet is completely dairy and gluten-free!
What Makes This Soup Stand Out
Powered by Mushrooms:
Crimini mushrooms not only add a delicious depth of flavor to this soup, they're also nutritional powerhouses. Mushrooms are a fantastic source of vitamins B and D, which are essential for energy production and bone health. They also provide selenium, potassium, and zinc, which support immune function and overall well-being. This makes the soup not only a treat for your taste buds, but also a beneficial meal for your health.
Creaminess from Cashews & Depth from Miso:
To achieve a rich, creamy texture without dairy, this soup uses cashews, while miso adds a deep, savory umami flavor that takes it to the next level.
Gluten and Dairy-Free:
Designed to welcome everyone to the table, this recipe ensures that those with gluten and dairy sensitivities can enjoy a classic comfort food.
Ideal for Busy Schedules:
A meal-prep dream, this soup only gets better over time, offering a quick, healthy option for any day of the week.
Creamy Vegan Mushroom Soup
A classic comfort, redefined to be gluten and dairy-free. Made with wholesome ingredients, and coming together in just 30 minutes, this soup is the perfect quick, nutritious meal that satisfies cravings without compromise.

Yield: 4 dinner size bowls
Ingredients:
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
¼ tsp sea salt
4 cloves garlic (about 1 tbsp), minced
2 pounds brown crimini mushrooms, sliced
2 celery stalks, diced small
2 tbsp sherry vinegar
1 tbsp gluten-free mellow white miso paste
1 tbsp low sodium tamari, or gluten free soy sauce
1 tbsp minced fresh sage leaves, or 1 tsp dried sage
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, or 1 tsp dried thyme
¼ tsp red chili flakes (optional, but fun for a little spice)
¼ tsp ground black pepper
3 ½ cups low sodium vegetable broth (or broth of choice)
¾ cup raw cashews, chopped
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp high quality toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
Instructions:
Prep all the veggies for this soup before getting started, as it comes together quickly.
In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat, and sauté the diced onion for one minute, until it’s well coated in the olive oil. Add the sea salt, and cook until the onions become translucent, about 4 minutes.
Add the garlic and stir until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms and celery, and cook stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are beginning to brown.
If the mixture starts to stick to the bottom of the pot, add a little of the veggie broth, and stir well, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom.
Add the sherry vinegar, miso, tamari, sage, thyme, chili flakes and black pepper, and stir until all is incorporated.
Add the veggie broth, stir well, and bring the heat up to high. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then turn down so the soup is at a gentle boil, for about 10 minutes.
Turn off the heat.
Very carefully, scoop out 2 cups of the soup mixture and place in a high speed blender with the chopped raw cashews, nutritional yeast and sesame oil.
Blend on high until super smooth and creamy.
Add the cashew mixture back to the pot, and stir well.
Add the fresh squeezed lemon juice, stir again, and taste. Add more sea salt and pepper as necessary, or more lemon if you like it more tangy.
Enjoy!
