This soup warms you up in cold winter night but you can eat it anytime! Mushrooms are always available in stores and supermarkets or from farmers. For this soup, just use white button mushrooms which are inexpensive and delicious mushrooms.
In the worst-case scenario, don’t be ashamed to use canned mushrooms (including their stems). However, they require extra care before roasting. Make sure you drain them completely! Frozen sliced mushrooms are another possibility. Remember to defrost them before roasting.
Mushrooms also do good for your health. They are low in carbs, low in calories, low in sodium plus they don’t contain any cholesterol. As you may suspect, mushrooms are great when you try to lose some weight or when you try to lower your calorie intake.
Mushrooms are a powerful food because they are packed with nutrients! They contain selenium, vitamins B, vitamin D, and others. Mushrooms have such powerful properties that they believed to have the potential to protect against some types of cancer and Alzheimer’s. They also improve digestive health and lower cholesterol.
Did you know that there are about 14,000 different types of mushrooms and about one-quarter of them is edible? If you want to know what the most common types of mushrooms are, click here and read the guide.
As you may notice, this soup recipe incorporates a few different kinds of herbs. I love cooking with fresh or dried herbs. They add a lot of flavour to any dish. Some of the herbs are so powerful with a strong taste that they can overpower the taste of the main ingredient. So be careful how much you use!
Here’s the complete guide to all essential herbs for vegan cooking if you need a little help on how to use them.
In this creamy mushroom and sage recipe, I used A LOT of fresh sage leaves, dried dill, and dried thyme.
Top your soup with some extra roasted sliced mushrooms, sage leaves (if you like them raw), and vegan sour cream. You can make your own sour cream easily if you follow this recipe.
Serve with bread rolls, if you like. I used gluten-free ciabatta rolls.
