Dairy-Free Creamy Mushroom Soup

January can be summed up in two words:
1. polar
2. vortex.

Time for more soup!!!

Dairy-Free Creamy Mushroom Soup

Ingredients:
2-3 tbs of olive oil
20 ounces of mushrooms, sliced - I used 2 whole packages, 1 white button and 1 baby portobello
1 onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, diced
32 ounces of beef broth - I used 1 whole container from Trader Joe's
A handful of fresh rosemary & thyme
Sprinkle of dried ground sage
Salt & pepper
Unsweetened, plain almond milk or coconut milk

Preparation: It's so simple! In a soup pot, sauté the mushrooms, onion, and garlic in olive oil over medium-high heat until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender. Add fresh herbs and season with salt, pepper, and sage. Toss together. Once the veggies are soft and fragrant, add the beef broth and bring to a boil. Allow to boil for 5-10 minutes, then reduce heat. Carefully blend soup using immersion blender (or standard blender - work in batches if necessary). Blend until the soup is smooth, and then add almond or coconut milk until the soup reaches its desired creaminess. If you don't live the dairy-free life, feel free to use half and half to thicken your soup. Simmer for a bit before serving (about 10 minutes). Add more salt & pepper to taste and enjoy!

Love,
Amy
