Creamy Coconut Mushroom Soup

New lunch idea for y'all! I love homemade creamy soups, because they're so nutritious and they're really easy to make- you just have to combine your favorite veggies, steam them and throw them in a blender!

As a kid, one of my favorite creamy soups was a mushroom soup, but we always ate the store-bought one. Now, this Creamy Coconut Mushroom Soup is rich in flavor, thick, delicious and very coconut-y! It's sweet and savory at the same time and that makes it so interesting.

ingredients:

500 g mushrooms, chopped

1 onion, medium + chopped

salt & pepper for seasoning

3 tablespoons oregano, dried/ fresh

vegetable oil (for cooking)

directions:

-in a big frying pan, on medium heat, add the chopped onion with some vegetable oil, salt and pepper. Saute the onion until it's slightly golden. Finally, add the oregano and stir.

-to the cooked onion, add the chopped mushrooms and add more oil (if needed) and extra oregano, if you're a big fan of it like I am :)

-stir everything well, until the mushrooms start to soften

-when the mushrooms are cooked properly, take the pan away from the heat and let it to chill for 5 minutes

-add the mushrooms+onion to a blender, along with 200 ml of thick coconut milk and 500 ml water and blend all of that for a couple of minutes/ until everything is well combined.

This soup is definitely one of our favorites and I hope you'll like it as much as we do at home! I don't know about you, but creamy soups to me feel like a big tight hug(and we all want that, right!?)

We like to have it with a side of Potato Salad (recipe coming soon) or roasted potatoes and because it's summertime, we always enjoy a fresh tomato+cucumber salad with fresh herbs, like dill, parsley and basil!
