Ingredients:

• 1 medium onion
• 4 cups water
• 1 carrot
• 1 leek
• 1 fennel bulb and fronds (optional)
• 5 cloves garlic
• Parsley or cilantro
• 1 tomato
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• Mushrooms mix
• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• Olive oil
• Salt

Instructions: 

1. Prepare the Vegetable Broth:

• Begin by preparing a vegetable broth. Chop the onion, carrot, leek, fennel bulb (if using), garlic, parsley or cilantro, and tomato.
• Add these vegetables to a pot along with 4 cups of water.
• Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes to extract the flavors.
• Once done, strain the broth and set aside the liquid.

2. Prepare the Mushrooms:

• In a large saucepan, heat some olive oil over medium heat.
• Add minced garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
• Then, add the mushrooms (cleaned and sliced) and cook until they are browned and soft.

3. Combine the Flavors:

• Carefully sift the prepared vegetable broth into the sautéed mushrooms, stirring as you add it.
• Add 1/2 cup of coconut milk to the mixture.
• Ladle in 1-2 spoonful of the vegetables reserved from preparing the broth to add more texture and flavor.

4. Blend and Finalize:

• Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a traditional blender, blend until smooth, and then return it to the pot.
• Season with salt to taste and reheat as needed.

5. Garnish:

• For a special touch, grill some dehydrated porcine mushrooms in an air fryer until crispy.
• Use these as a garnish along with fresh cilantro before serving.

Enjoy your delicious mushroom soup!
