I think more than any other recipe I’ve posted I would LOVE to hear feedback on this one the most. So, if you make it…please come back and share. I mean so many meals are good but this one had me jumping up and down in the kitchen. This soup could also double as a vegan stroganoff sauce to have over noodles (zucchini or regular) with thick slices of marinated portobello mushrooms. Drool now!
This soup is so creamy and flavorful, I am beside myself. The texture is almost like a soft mousse with fresh herb undertones and the creamy crimini popping out here and there.
You’ll be beside yourself too with how easy it is. The only thing that takes any amount of time is calming your hunger while the potato is baking. While the potato is baking though you can prep the other ingredients or even wash dishes ;).
This made about 4-5 cups so there is plenty for it to be a sauce instead of a soup. If you are making it as soup, it will work perfect as 4 sides, main dishes for 2, OR 1 big piggy serving like I had tonight.
I’m on day 3 of my smoothie/soup feast and I didn’t set any rules about cooked ingredients. The only heat I’ve used thus far is from the electric tea kettle (for adding hot water) and the blender, which if run for one minute and 2o seconds heats up the ingredients just enough. If you aren’t doing any sort of a feast, feel free to warm it briefly on the stove.
