  • Add assorted mushrooms and sauté for 8-15 minutes until browned and juices are mostly evaporated.

  • Add wine and deglaze pot, scraping any browned bits off the bottom.

  • Reserve half of the mushrooms and onions and place into a blender. Add 1 can coconut milk and blend until smooth.

  • Add pureed mushrooms, remaining coconut milk and 2 cups stock into pot. Add more stock if soup is too thick for your liking.
