Dairy Free Cream of Mushroom Soup

You won’t miss the dairy with this incredibly creamy and delicious soup!
What You’ll Need
1/4 cup Califia Farms Unsweetened Almond Milk
5 Tablespoons of vegan butter
1/2 cup minced yellow onion
8-12 oz sliced mushrooms
1 Tablespoon fresh thyme
1 Teaspoon salt
1/4 Teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup + 1 Tablespoon all purpose flour
3 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk

What To Do
In medium/large sauce pan melt 3 tablespoons butter and add onion, cook on medium, stirring constantly, until they reduce. Add mushrooms and cook on medium-high, stirring constantly until they cook down and start to brown. Add a pinch of salt and the thyme and stir.

Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter/ghee and let melt, then add flour and stir to fully combine. Add broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each pour. Let simmer about 10 minutes, stirring softly, and you will see it start to thicken. After 10 minutes or so add coconut milk and almond milk. Stir to combine. Taste and add additional salt, pepper or thyme – as desired. Feel free to garnish with additional sautéed mushrooms and thyme.
