Instructions

  • Clean the mushrooms with a slightly damp cloth, then chop them into slices.
  • Switch on the sauté mode on the Instant Pot (see notes for stovetop version). Add olive oil, chopped onions and a pinch of salt, stir well and cook until onions start to brown (5 minutes).
  • Add sliced mushrooms, and sauté for 10-15 minutes or until they turn wilted and slightly caramelized. You can save some sautéed mushroom for garnish if you like.
  • Pour in the white wine and allow it to evaporate completely for around 60 to 90 seconds.
  • Add garlic, dill, thyme, vegan Worchester sauce, nutritional yeast and smoked paprika. Top with vegetable broth, salt and pepper, then close the IP lid and set “pressure cook” for 5 minutes.
  • In a separate jug combine plant milk and corn starch or flour into a lump free mixture.
  • Once the soup is ready, pour in the milk mixture stir well and allow to thicken back on sauté mode for 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Turn off the Instant Pot then stir in the vegan Greek yoghurt.
  • Transfer the soup into a bowl or deep dish, garnish with freshly ground pepper, thyme sprigs and reserved mushrooms, and serve straight away with toasted sourdough bread slices or croutons.

Notes

Stovetop Version: Method is the same up until step 5 where instead of pressure cook you will have to simmer the mushroom soup on medium heat for 20-25 minutes.Then proceed as per the Instant Pot version on medium heat intensity.
