Ingredients
  

500g fresh mushrooms (such as cremini or button), sliced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup cashews, soaked in water for at least 4 hours, then drained

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

      Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they release their moisture and become tender, about 7-10 minutes.

        Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the dried thyme, followed by salt and pepper to taste.

          While the soup simmers, blend the soaked and drained cashews with 1 cup of the soup broth in a blender until smooth and creamy.

            Once the mushrooms have simmered for about 10 minutes, remove the pot from heat. Stir in the cashew cream and nutritional yeast until thoroughly combined.

              If you prefer a smoother texture, you can submerge an immersion blender into the pot to blend it further, or blend a portion of the soup in batches.

                Return the pot to the stove and heat gently for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

                  Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.

                      - Presentation Tips: Serve the soup in deep bowls, drizzling a little olive oil on top and sprinkling additional nutritional yeast for garnishing. Add a slice of crusty bread on the side for a perfect pairing!
