How to Prepare Black Bean Mushroom Soup [Vegan]

  1. Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pot. Fry the garlic and onions until they have become translucent, for about five minutes on moderately high heat.
  2. Add the dried thyme and mushrooms. Sweat for another five minutes, until they are more or less evenly browned. Pour over the boiled water, drop in the stock cube and beans, and gently simmer for 20 minutes, until the mushrooms have gone soft.
  3. Transfer the cooked vegetables and liquid to a blender; pulse till liquid but still "grainy." You can also do this with a hand-held blender.
  4. Serve steaming hot with a couple of slices of freshly toasted sourdough bread and a generous slab of vegan butter.

  1. This is very tasty! I added some coarse ground black pepper and some chopped fresh parsley. Went very well with the sour dough bread and lashings of Earth Balance spread!
