A delicious, simple, and elegant mushroom soup that’s wonderfully creamy without any cream. Instead, blended cashews create its irresistibly smooth texture, while sautéed onions, garlic, fresh herbs, and a splash of white wine build deep, aromatic flavor. A touch of Dijon mustard and light miso adds subtle richness, and using a mix of different mushroom varieties makes this soup especially flavorful and satisfying.

Instructions

Place cashew nuts in a bowl and pour boiling water over them. Set aside and let them soften.

Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic cloves, clean the mushrooms and slice them thinly.

Pour olive oil into a pot, add the onion and garlic, and sauté over medium heat with a pinch of salt until translucent. Once the onions are translucent, add the mushrooms and fry for eight to ten minutes, until the mushrooms are nice and soft.

Deglaze the pot with white wine and let the alcohol evaporate. Then add the vegetable stock, thyme, rosemary and bay leaf, and simmer covered for 15 minutes.

Remove the thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf from the soup and discard them. Transfer about half of the soup to a blender, drain the cashews, and add them to the blender along with the mustard and miso paste. Blend the soup and nuts until smooth.

Return the cashew cream to the pot and bring the soup back to a simmer for another two to three minutes. Finally, season with salt and pepper and serve with your choice of side dishes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Mushroom Medley Magic 🍄
Combine at least 3-4 different mushroom varieties like shiitake, cremini, oyster, and button to create a complex, layered flavor profile that elevates the soup's depth.
Cashew Cream Technique 🥜
Soak cashews in hot water for at least 30 minutes before blending to ensure an ultra-smooth, creamy texture without any graininess.
Wine Deglaze Mastery 🍷
After sautéing mushrooms and aromatics, deglaze the pan with white wine and let it reduce by half to concentrate the flavors and remove any alcohol harshness.
Herb Infusion Trick 🌿
Tie fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs together with kitchen twine to create an easy-to-remove herb bundle that infuses flavor without leaving herb fragments in the soup.
Umami Depth Booster 🥄
Mix the light miso paste with a small amount of hot broth before adding to the soup to prevent clumping and ensure smooth, even distribution of the rich, savory flavor.
