This dairy-free,Whole30-friendly little gem has all that indulgent, umami goodness of traditional cream of mushroom soup, without the heaviness. The secret ingredient? Dried mushrooms. By combining fresh baby bella and portobello mushrooms with a dried mushroom mix of your choice (reconstituted in hot water that can later be added back in as stock) you get a soup that is off the flavor charts. Blend with JOI cashew plant base for creaminess and you’ve got an instant comfort food classic.

Ingredients
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 Leeks, green tops remove, white parts, chopped
- Sage, rosemary, thyme (or other herbs as preferred), to taste
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 Garlic cloves, sliced thinly or minced
- 20 Ounces Baby Bella (or cremini) mushrooms
- 3 Portabella mushrooms, stems removed
- 2 Ounces Dried mushrooms (we like porcini)
- 5 Cups Vegetable Stock ((include reserved soaking water from dried mushrooms)
-
5 Tablespoons JOI Cashew Base
Directions
Soak dried mushrooms in 1 cup hot water for 10 minutes; strain (reserving liquid), and squeeze out mushrooms. Chop and set aside.
- Add oil and chopped leeks to large stockpot, season with salt and sauté until just soft over medium heat.
- Add garlic and herbs and sauté for a minute or two, just until fragrant.
- Turn heat to high and add all mushrooms to the pot. Salt generously. Cook, stirring every few minutes, until mushrooms are browned and have released moisture, reducing significantly in size about 7-10 minutes
- Add stock, including reserve mushroom liquid, to pot and simmer for about 30 minutes
- Turn off the heat. Stir JOI cashew plant base into the pot and blend with an immersion blender, leaving some mushrooms whole or in pieces as preferred. **If using a standing blender, reserve half the soup in the pot, and blend the other half with the JOI in the blender. Combine with the soup remaining in the pot.
- Test for taste, adding salt or pepper as needed. EnJOI!
Note
We recommend using an immersion blender for this soup. It makes for a super quick and easy one-pot meal and allows you to achieve your perfect consistency of chunky or smooth. But, if you don’t have an immersion blender, a standing blender will also work just fine—just be sure to reserve some cooked mushrooms in the pot if you prefer in a chunkier soup.
