MUSHROOM SOUP COOKING TIPS:
- Although this recipe has coconut cream/milk, this soup is more like a mushroom broth. If you want a creamier result, add more coconut cream and reduce the amount of water.
- If you don’t have or prefer not to use coconut milk but still want a creamier soup, add other vegan creams or cashew cream. Furthermore, you can mix some cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Then pour it into the soup and stir well.
- Instead of using olive oil to cook the onion and the fresh garlic clove, you can replace this oil ingredient with other vegan options; such as vegan butter or margarine. For an oil-free option, you can use water or vegetable broth.
