Description
This mushroom potato soup is a comforting vegan soup with rich flavors. If you’re bored of your regular potato soup and want something more interesting, this hearty and flavorful version with mushrooms is a must-try.
Ingredients
- 250 grams mushrooms, sliced
- 4 medium potatoes (around 450 grams), peeled and cubed
- 1 medium brown onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 stalks green onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon mixed Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 2 cups vegetable stock
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large cooking pot. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté on medium heat for 4–5 minutes or until they are almost cooked and release moisture.
2. Transfer the sautéed mushrooms along with their juices to a bowl and set aside.
3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add chopped onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
4. Add minced garlic and sauté for a few seconds until its raw smell disappears.
5. Add Italian seasoning and chili flakes. Sauté for around 30 seconds.
6. Add chopped potatoes, salt, and ground black pepper. Sauté for a minute. Add a splash of water if the seasonings begin to stick.
7. Add vegetable stock and mix well. Cover and cook for 25 to 30 minutes or until the potatoes are fully cooked.
8. Remove the lid and roughly mash half of the potato cubes with a masher or the back of a ladle.
9. Add the sautéed mushrooms, plant-based milk, and chopped green onion. Mix everything and cook for another 4–5 minutes.
10. Turn off the heat and garnish with more chopped green onion before serving.
Notes
Use a starchy variety of potatoes for a creamier soup texture.
Cut the potatoes into smaller pieces to speed up cooking.
For a smoother soup, mash all the potatoes or blend the soup using an immersion or stand blender.
To thicken the soup without mashing, you can use all-purpose flour.
Use mushroom stock instead of vegetable stock for a deeper mushroom flavor.
Add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar for a tangy finish.
