Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

• Mushrooms– I used baby Bella mushrooms, but you can use cremini mushrooms or any variety you have on hand like porcini mushrooms or portobello mushrooms for extra flavor.
• Garlic
• Sea Salt:I likepink Himalayan Sea Salt.
• Onions
• Herbes de Provence:my favorite spice blend!This French blendhas a mix of rosemary, thyme, sage, and savory for a wonderful and complex flavor.
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Flour –I used regular all purpose flour for this recipe. To make it gluten free, mix 2 tablespoons of corn starch with 2 tablespoons of cold water, and add that mixture into the soup.
• Low Sodium VegetableBroth– I like to use thislow sodiumveggie broth for my recipes because it has great flavor… without all the salt. I always use low sodium or no-salt-added broth or stock to start, and then I can add salt or other spices later if needed. Check out morelow sodium recipes here!
• Coconut Milk:I useunsweetened full-fat coconut milk, which I’d definitely recommend over lite coconut milk. The full fat milk makes this dishsuper rich and creamywithout any dairy or heavy cream. You can also use a cashew milk or oat milk too, but I prefer the richness of coconut milk.
