- 3 garlic cloves peeled and minced
- 750 grams / 1 and ½ lbs mixed mushrooms
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves finely chopped

- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed soup pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions and saute over medium to high heat for 3-4 minutes or until soft.
- Add the mushrooms, thyme and salt to the pot and saute for 10-12 minutes until the liquid from the mushrooms as completely cooked off.
- Turn the heat up to high and add the white wine. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the liquid has cooked off.
- Turn the heat back down to medium and sprinkle the mushrooms with the flour. Stirring regularly, cook the flour for 2 minutes to ensure it isn't raw.
- A cup at a time, stir in the stock and miso paste.
- After the last cup of stock, add the coconut milk. Swap to a whisk and bring the soup up to a simmer, gently whisking. It will thicken as you whisk. Once you have your desired consistency, the soup is ready to serve.
- Season with the pepper and more salt and serve.
Notes
Tip #1. To get a full-bodied flavoursome soup, take the time to cook off all the liquid from the mushrooms. This may take 10 - 12 minutes but it is so worth the time.
Tip#2. To ensure your soup thickens well, add the stock a cup at a time, stirring as you go.
