Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large onion, chopped into small pieces
- ½ pound baby Portobello mushrooms, sliced
- ½ pound Shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, sliced
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 4 cups water
- 1 can coconut milk, light, unsweetened
- ¼ cup short-grain white rice
- 1 bay leaf
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
- 2 tablespoons light miso paste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, minced
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Sauté Mushrooms and Onion:
- In a medium pot, heat canola oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion, Portobello mushrooms, and Shiitake mushrooms.
- Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms and onions are softened and lightly browned.
- Make Soup Base:
- Reserve ¼ cup of the mushroom mixture for topping the soup later. Set aside in a small bowl.
- To the pot with the remaining mushroom mixture, add water, coconut milk, rice, bay leaf, white pepper, miso paste, and soy sauce.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes, covered.
- Add Fresh Herbs and Spices:
- Uncover the pot, and add fresh dill, minced garlic, pine nuts, and nutritional yeast.
- Simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
- Puree:
- Remove the pot from heat.
- Using an immersion blender or food processor, puree the soup until smooth. (If using a food processor, you may need to do this in batches.)
- Season:
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed.
- Serve:
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the reserved mushroom mixture.
Notes
- For added richness, you can use full-fat coconut milk instead of light.
- Adjust the seasoning based on your taste preferences.
