When I crave something hot, healthy and chewy, I know that it is time to make a hearty mushroom soup.

This coconut curry mushroom lover’s soup can be made with one type of mushroom or you can mix them.

From shiitake to portabello to button, and more, I love all kinds of mushrooms — so I usually add several types to my soups.

Mixing mushrooms definitely enhances the flavor and texture of this soup.

Adding coconut milk is a great way to make vegan mushroom lover’s soup a little creamier without the addition of dairy.

Many recipes call for wine, but I like make my soup a little spicier by adding a good organic curry seasoning.

Clearly, the blend of herbs and spices elevates the flavor.

All in all, this creamy vegan soup is a mushroom lover’s delight!

It’s easy to make, dairy-free and tastes amazing.
