Chef's Notes
People often overlook the mushroom as a nutrient dense vegetable, but don't let them fool you! Not only are they packed with fibre, vitamins, and minerals, but they also bring a delicious umami flavor to recipes. The cashews create a cream base that is not only delicious, but delivers plant protein, fiber, and healthy fat. This soup has it all!
