Creamy Potato Mushroom Soup Recipe with Spinach and Turmeric.

Potatoes. Mushrooms. Spinach. Fresh Thyme.

Friends, I’m here in the middle of July sharing with you how to make the best potato mushroom soup of all times.

Why ? Because in a couple of months you’ll be having this awesomeness on repeat all fall and winter long. It will be your back pocket go to weeknight dinner alongside some crusty bread and this creamy broccoli potato soup.

It’s an easy recipe with lots of rustic textures and comforting flavors. It can be made with an onion or leek base, I’ll argue that leeks have way more flavor but really just use whatever you have in the pantry.

This time I added fresh baby spinach at the very end to boost the nutritional profile. It also goes well with broccoli florets and even kale, if that’s what you fancy at the moment.

This Potato Mushroom Soup is Everything:

Creamy &Comforting

100% WFPB Vegan / Pure Vegetarian

Healthy

Oil, Dairy & Gluten Free

1 Pot

Easy to Make.

Can this Soup Be Prepped Ahead of Time ?

Absolutely yes! As a matter of fact i always argue that both soups and stews are best the next day after the flavors have had a chance to marry overnight in the fridge. They also make great freezer meals, so feel free to make a double batch and freeze for a cold rainy or snowy day. You should also try this vegan clam chowder, broccoli potato soup, vegan cream of mushroom soup and the best ever plant based Zuppa Toscana.

good to know: mushrooms have been used medicinally for ages due to their healing properties. They are dense in nutrients, antioxidants and possess anti-cancerous properties.

Ingredients

3/4 lb mushrooms (sliced)
6 medium golden potatoes (rinsed & cut into 1 inch pieces)
2 carrots -diced
1 stick celery -chopped
1/2 chopped onion ( or 1/2 cup sliced leeks)
4 cloves garlic -minced
3-4 cups water
1 cup coconut or cashew milk (full fat)

1.5 tsp ground mustard

6 sprigs thyme
1 pinch sea salt -to taste
1 pinch nutmeg -freshly grated
2 cups baby spinach (or broccoli florets)

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat a large soup pot over medium flame. Add the onion (or leeks) together with a splash of water and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the carrots and celery and a pinch of sea salt and cook another 5 minutes or so until softened.
Add the garlic, bay leaf, thyme, ground mustard and turmeric and give everything a quick stir. Add the mushrooms and cook another 5 minutes or so until wilted. Stir in the potatoes and pour in the water.
Bring the soup to a simmer, add a good pinch of sea salt and cover with a lid. Cook for about 20 minutes or so until the potatoes are cooked through.
Adjust seasonings to taste with more sea salt then stir in the spinach. Cook just another minute or so until wilted. (If adding broccoli instead you’ll need to cook it a few more minutes)
Stir in the coconut milk and remove from heat. Serve hot with a sprinkling of nutmeg and freshly cracked black pepper on top.

Notes

If you are working with spices that are not the freshest you might want to increase those amounts for more flavor as spices lose their flavor very quickly just sitting in the pantry.
I strive to inspire and encourage everyone towards a WFPB lifestyle which also means cutting salt and fat from our diets. I add only a symbolic amount of salt to recipes so you can adjust to your taste and hopefully learn to love natural whole foods without too much added salt.
