I first got the inspiration from this recipe from Little Spice Jar’s Soul Warming Creamy Hungarian Mushroom Soup. It’s a great recipe as is, but it was kind of heavy on the mushrooms for my taste. I love the flavor they add, but the texture isn’t my favorite, so I like to use them sparingly. Instead of a half pound of mushrooms, I used about a quarter of that and added tons of other veggies such as carrots, celery, potatoes, and spinach. I also wanted to make this soup vegan and Daniel Fast compliant, so I swapped olive oil for butter, veggie broth for chicken stock, and reduced fat coconut milk for half and half. Coconut milk might sound like a weird addition, but I promise it won’t make it taste like it. It just adds that creamy goodness without using dairy. I also omitted the crème fraiche at the end, but it would be a good addition if animal products are not a concern for you. Non-fat Greek yogurt is a good, healthy alternative to crème fraiche.

After all the additions and substitutions, the resulting soup I got was this Hearty Vegan Vegetable Soup. It’s very easy to make and will only take about an hour! Serve it with a warm slice of Crusty Artisan Bread drizzled with olive oil to complete the meal. Enjoy!
