Description

Ranging in sizes and colours, mushrooms are the star ingredient of this soup! This recipe uses white and cremini mushrooms. For an earthy flavour, try using morels, chanterelles or king oysters.

Ingredients

280 mL (1 ⅛ cups) white mushrooms
280 mL (1 ⅛ cups) cremini mushrooms
60 mL (¼ cup) vegetable oil
30 mL (2 tbsp) onion, diced
30 mL (2 tbsp) garlic, peeled and chopped
15 mL (1 tbsp) whole wheat flour
250 mL (1 cup) 2% milk or unsweetened fortified plant-based beverage
250mL (1 cup) vegetable broth
5 mL (1 tsp) fresh thyme, finely chopped
