Porcini Mushrooms and Veggies Cream Soup (Vegan)
Servings: 4 big servings
Print RecipeThis cream soup packs a lot of veggies, plus porcini mushrooms and my favorite source of healthy fats, avocado. It’s very easy to make, super tasty and can be served with different extras like nuts, olives or cheeses.

Notes
You can use either fresh or frozen vegetables. I used frozen because they cook faster but also because I made this soup in the winter time, when fresh vegetables aren’t in season.
How to use frozen veggies? Let them defrost on the counter for 20 minutes or simply add them into the cooking pot as they are (frozen). No worries because they will defrost while cooking.
Depending on the avocado you’ve used, this soup can turn out a bit on the fatty side. Consider adding just 1/2 of avocado and taste the soup before adding the other half.
Adding too much water into the blender will ruin that cream soup texture.
Don’t add hot veggies into a plastic blender jar. This is not healthy and will also ruin your blender jar. What you can do is let the boiled veggies cool down at room temperature for 10-15 minutes prior to adding them into the blender.
If you want to reheat the soup, just add it into a pot and simmer for a few minutes. Remove from heat and pour in your favorite serving dish.
