Mushrooms play an important role in keeping the immune system strong. They support the immune system in reacting quickly to disease-causing pathogens. The compounds found in mushrooms fight cancer by reducing the blood supply to tumors and destroying cells that are damaged or infected with a virus. This hearty soup is a delicious way to enjoy the health benefits of mushrooms. The recipe uses a multi-cooker for sautéing and pressure cooking.
INGREDIENTS
3 cups vegetable broth, divided
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large celery stalk, chopped
1 large carrot, peeled & chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
8 ounces crimini mushrooms, sliced
8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, sliced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup lite canned coconut milk
NOTES
If you use bullion cubes that contain salt, don't include the kosher salt.
​
Any combination of mushrooms will work; use what you have on hand.
PREPARATION
-
Prepare the vegetable broth if using bouillon cubes.
-
Set the multi-cooker pot to Sauté mode. Heat 2 Tablespoons of broth, then add the onion, celery and carrots. Saute the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Add the garlic, crimini and shiitake mushrooms, thyme and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are starting to release their liquid, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the broth and salt (if using).
-
Put the lid on the multi-cooker, close the steam vent and set to HIGH pressure using the manual setting. Decrease the time to 10 minutes. It will take the cooker several minutes to reach pressure.
-
Once the time is expired, carefully release the steam using the quick release valve.
-
Transfer half of the soup to the blender, add half of the coconut milk, and blend until almost smooth (leave a little bit of texture). Stop the blender and open the lid occasionally to release the steam. Transfer the pureed soup to a pot or bowl. Repeat with the second half of the soup.
-
If the soup needs to be reheated, return it to the multi-cooker and heat gently using the Saute mode. Serve.
