Cream of Mushroom Soup

My homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup – rich, thick, creamy, and dairy-free! As we’re now more in the Fall season, this simple soup is perfect those cool days to come. This recipe is classic comfort food with my Asian spin added. The mellow umami flavors of Shiitake and Portobello mushrooms, white rice, light miso paste, coconut milk, soy sauce, and sweet pine nuts blend up deliciously into a creamy vegan soup.
