Oh how I love soup season! I also love mushrooms, so portobellos are perfect for creating a hearty, satisfying soup. Meat-schmeat! Because it's just the two of us these days, I made a small batch (serves 3), but you would easily double this recipe to feed a larger crew. This soup has lots of savory flavor and is ready in just over 30 minutes.

Ingredients
  • 2 Tbs vegan margarine
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 C diced onion
  • 5 portobello mushroom caps, cut into cubes
  • 4 C vegetable broth
  • ½ C red wine
  • 4-oz spaghetti, broken in half (I used quinoa pasta to keep it gluten-free)
  • 1 C frozen peas
  • ½ tsp dried lemon peel
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp thyme
  • ½ C non-dairy half and half, unsweetened (I recommend almond or soy; not coconut)
  • 1 C chopped parsley
  • Vegan Parmesan (I like Follow Your Heart brand shredded Parmesan)
Directions
  1. In a large soup pot, melt the vegan margarine and add the garlic; cook for 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, then add the portobellos. It may seem like a lot at first, but they will cook down.
  3. Add the vegetable broth and wine. Bring to a boil and add the pasta; cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add the peas, salt, pepper, lemon peel, and thyme and cook another 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the half and half and parsley and heat.
  6. Top individual servings with Parmesan and enjoy!
