This dairy-free mushroom soup is like comfort in a bowl, it's exactly how cream of mushroom soup should taste - thick, rich and hearty, without the "cream."

Recipe type: Soup
Serves: 4-6 servings
Ingredients
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 leek, trimmed and sliced thin
2 cloves garlic, minced
20 oz mushrooms (any type, or a mix) - I like using pre-sliced baby bellas
4-5 yukon gold potatoes, diced
1 tsp dried thyme
2 cups vegetable broth, + more as needed for desired consistency
1½ cup full-fat coconut milk
sea salt
black pepper
Instructions
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add leeks and garlic and saute about 2 minutes.
Add mushrooms and saute about 5 minutes.
Add potatoes, thyme and vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover and simmer about 20 minutes, until potatoes can be pierced with a fork.
Add coconut milk.
Optional: For a thicker, creamier soup, transfer ½-3/4 of soup to blender and blend until smooth (do this carefully - only fill blender no more than ½. Remove lid cap and cover with a towel. Start low and slow.) If you have an immersion blender you can use that directly in the pot instead.
