Prep

- Chop the garlic, onions, and slice a green chili in half.
Cook the Soup
- Heat up a dutch enameled castiron on medium heat, once hot, add butter and oil.
- Add the green chili, garlic, and onions. Saute for 3 minutes until the onions soften.
- Add the mushrooms, season with a little salt, and cook for about 7 minutes. The mushrooms will release some water.
- While the mushrooms cook, prepare the cashew broth by blending 2 cups of vegetable broth with the drained cashews using a NutriBullet.
- At this time, add the almond flour. Alternatively, you can use gluten-free flour. Cook for about 1 minute.
- Pour the prepared 2 cups of cashew broth over the mushrooms, plus 2 cups of remaining vegetable broth.
- Add gluten-free tamari.
- Also add fresh thyme, black pepper, and season with salt to taste. Stir well.
- Cover with a lid. Cook the soup on low-medium heat for roughly 10 minutes.
- You are done. Turn off the stove.
Garnish
- Serve soup with a cheese toastie. Garnish with black pepper, cayenne pepper, fresh thyme, and a drizzle of Trader Joe's Herbes de Provence oil. Enjoy with a cheese toastie on the side.
