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.

In today's health-conscious society, people are constantly on the lookout for healthier, more natural substitutes for their go-to foods. Plant milk concentrates from JOI are a revolution in this space, offering a straightforward and pure solution for those seeking the creamy, nutritious goodness of homemade plant milk.
