Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 to 60 seconds, until fragrant.

Add the diced mushrooms and stir to combine. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and it mostly evaporates. Continue cooking until the mushrooms begin to lightly brown.

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat evenly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Pour in the vegetable broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the coconut milk, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days for use in casseroles and other recipes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Maximize Umami with Mushroom Browning 🍄
Sauté mushrooms in batches over medium-high heat without crowding the pan until deeply golden—this caramelization concentrates their savory depth and creates a richer soup base than steaming them.
Create a Silky Roux Base 🥄
Cook flour with olive oil for 2-3 minutes before adding broth to eliminate the raw flour taste and ensure a velvety texture without lumps throughout the soup.
Bloom Thyme for Intensity 🌿
Add fresh thyme early in the cooking process (with onions and garlic) rather than at the end to allow its oils to infuse deeply into the broth for complex herbal notes.
Emulsify Coconut Milk Properly 🥥
Whisk coconut milk thoroughly into the hot broth off-heat, then warm gently on low—this prevents separation and ensures a stable, creamy consistency perfect for casserole folding.
Season in Stages for Balance 🧂
Add salt and pepper incrementally during cooking rather than all at once, adjusting after the coconut milk is incorporated since dairy-free additions can mute flavors.
