Cream of mushroom soup - no cream, no butter & no cooking.

This creates a really creamy, thick mushroom soup.

You need a very high powered blender or make almond milk first or it will be grainy

Wash 2 boxes of mushroom (better to just brush the dirt off if organic).

Put in blender, with 2 stalks of celery, some almond milk (or handful of raw almonds and some water. You can add stock powder if you want). Half an onion, a clove of garlic, the juice of 2 lemons.

You can add a few leaves soft herbs, such as basil or tarragon. Add salt (or salt substitute) and pepper to taste.

Blend until smooth and creamy.

You can serve this at room temperature or chilled.

A swirl of garlic oil on top or some pesto (see separate entry).
