Vegan Mushroom Velouté Soup

Hi Friends!

We are a few months into the winter and I finally found the time to make a soup. And what a soup! Rich and creamy Vegan mushroom soup with a stunning secret ingredient.

Porcini mushroom stock

That simply upgrades this mushroom soup and makes it insanely aromatic. You can order dried porcini mushrooms online and in specialty stores. In general, these dried mushrooms have a lot of wonderful uses and are a must in your pantry. I use them a lot mainly in noodle dishes and sauces. And they found their way into this soup! you can also do amazing sauces using porcini mushroom stock. Note that before you go ahead and start making the soup, make sure you have a prepared porcini mushroom stock ready to use.

Soak the mushrooms in a container with boiling water. Let them cool and then cover and keep in the fridge overnight. The rest of the ingredients can be found without any problem anywhere. If you can’t get dried Porcini mushrooms, make a stock from any dried mushrooms or simply add the mushroom powder to your vegetable stock, about 1-2 tablespoons depending on the brand.

This stunning soup of ours has 2 simple steps.

First, we will make a vegetable stock so that we have a base with a strong flavor and aroma of vegetables, porcini mushrooms, and thyme. It takes exactly 30 minutes to boil all the ingredients together. 

The second stage will be the body of the soup in which we are going to sweat our finely chopped leeks. Then we add Portobello mushroom cubes and sauté. Cover and let cook for 10 minutes. We’ll deglaze mushroom and leeks in the pan with white wine. If you do not want to add wine, you can add a little vinegar. About half the amount of wine in the recipe. In addition, the coconut cream in the recipe can be replaced with any vegetable milk that you choose, almond soy or vegan heavy cream. We will add the vegetable stock and the porcini we prepared and continue to cook for about half an hour.

After we have finished cooking the soup all that is left is to thicken it to make it creamy and delicious. We will do this by blending most of the soup to a smooth texture and then add it to the remaining soup to get some of the cubed mushrooms in.

garnish

In addition, we can add over a really delicious garnish. It doesn’t necessarily have to be exactly the same ingredients. Of course, this is just a recommendation but you can use what you have in the fridge. For garnish, I used finely chopped shallots and fresh shimeji mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms, I sautéed them with a little olive oil and vegan butter over relatively high heat. I added panko crumbs, lemon zest, and finely chopped parsley. A little salt and pepper to finish and you got yourself a fancy restaurant-style soup! Enjoy !!
