Ingredients:

Soup

• 1 cup Ceres Organics Organic Cashews Whole Raw
• 10 large portobello mushrooms
• 1 leek
• 1 white onion
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 1 Tbsp Chantal Organics Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 6 sprigs thyme leaves
• 3 cups boiling water
• 2 Tbsp Nutra Organics Chicken Broth Homestyle Mushroom
• 1-2 teaspoons Superfeast Reishi
• 2 teaspoons Lotus Savoury Yeast Flakes
• Salt and pepper

Umami Mushroom Topper

• 10 button mushrooms
• 1 teaspoon Chantal Organics Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Chantal Organics Organic Tamari Soy Sauce
• 2 sprigs thyme leaves
• ½ teaspoon BioHoney Manuka Honey MG100+

Assorted Accompaniments

• Spring onion, sliced
• Parsley, chopped
• ROAR Organic Seed Mix Activated

Method:

1. In a small bowl or dish, cover the cashew nuts with boiled water and set aside to soften.
2. Meanwhile, to make the umami mushroom topper, peel and slice the button mushrooms. Heat a pot on medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the mushrooms, tamari, thyme leaves and honey. Cook until mushrooms have softened and caramelized. Set aside ready for serving.
3. To make the soup, peel and slice the Portobello mushrooms and roughly chop the leek and onion.
4. To a large pot, add the chopped leek, onion and crushed garlic, along with butter. Sauté for about 10 minutes until the leek has turned translucent. Then add the sliced mushrooms, thyme leaves and season with salt and pepper. Cook for a further 10 minutes until mushrooms have browned and softened.
5. Add the boiling water and broth powder to the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook covered for 10 minutes.
6. Remove from heat and add in the Reishi mushroom powder, drained cashew nuts and savoury yeast flakes. Using a stick blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy.
7. Top with mushrooms, assorted accompaniments and a drizzle of hemp seed oil - and enjoy with a slice of your favourite toasted bread on the side.
