It's hard to beat a comforting, savory soup on a cold night. It's also great when it doesn't take a lot of time to make, so this is perfect for a snowy weeknight. I served this with a side Caesar salad which paired together beautifully!

Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 6 small russet potatoes, diced (about 4 C)
  • 4-5 C vegetable broth
  • 16-oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 bunch spinach, chopped small/fine
  • 1 can lite coconut milk
  • ½ tsp thyme
  • ¼ tsp rosemary
  • ¾ tsp Herbs de Provence
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 green onion or one bunch of chives, chopped
Directions
  1. In a large soup pot, bring the broth to a boil and add the potatoes. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  2. Add half of the sliced mushrooms and about ⅔ of the canned coconut milk. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency. (I mostly pureed it, but left just a few chunks.)
  3. Season with the thyme, rosemary, Herbs de Provence, salt, pepper and garlic.
  4. Stir in the rest of the mushrooms, along with the spinach and remaining coconut milk. Add more broth if you feel it needs thinning.
  5. Bring to a low simmer and serve individual servings topped with green onion or chives. Enjoy!
