What are the benefits of eating mushrooms?
This cream of mushroom soup is a delicious way to eat mushrooms and get all their benefits. Dr.Greger (which I’m a big fan of) tells you all of the benefits of mushrooms in his book called “How not to die” if you wanna know more about them.
But in the meantime let me tell you some. Did you know that they are super useful to help your body fight allergies? They are fantastic as an immune system booster and that they have tons of vitamin B and minerals?
INGREDIENTS to prepare this vegan creamy mushroom soup
- Mushrooms. Use a mixture of white mushrooms, cremini mushrooms, wild mushrooms, or even portobello mushrooms. With all kinds of mushrooms, this cream of mushroom soup will be delicious. However if you are using white button mushrooms you may want to add a tablespoon or two of soy sauce or tamari to bbost out the flavor of the mushrooms a bit more.
- Garlic. Garlic not only enhances the flavor of mushrooms, but it also complements it and raises the nutritional value of this soup.
- Thyme. Fresh or dried herbs always give a super special touch to our dishes.
- Vegetable broth. You can use homemade or store-bought vegetable stock. You can also use water or dehydrated mushroom ( like dried porcini mushrooms) broth.
