Hungarian Mushroom Soup

Words and photos by Casey Certain from the Reid Homestead

If there’s something I love doing in the kitchen, it usually involves simplicity. In my vocabulary, soup = simplicity. And what better time than fall and winter to pull out the Dutch oven and turn some farm goodies into something yummy?

I tweaked this amazing Hungarian mushroom soup to leave out the dairy and flour that’s found in similar recipes, but adding it can give more body and a creamy texture. Another selling point for this soup? It’s cold and flu season, so the chicken stock and antiretroviral properties of oyster mushrooms are great for when you’re feeling yucky.

Why Whole30?
Once all the holiday fun is over, David and I like to go back to our Whole30 recipes so that our bodies can reset and find balance. My digestion thanks me every time! If you’re unfamiliar with Whole30, and are looking to cut down bloating, gas, indigestion and general digestive woes, you might consider researching it. 

INGREDIENTS
4 tbsp coconut oil
2 cups onions, chopped
1 lb oyster mushrooms, cleaned and sliced

2 tsp dried dill
2 tsp minced fresh thyme leaves
2 tsp Hungarian paprika
2 tbsp coconut aminos
2 tbsp lemon juice
Fresh microgreens of your choice for topping

1 – Sauté the onions and mushrooms in coconut oil over medium heat until onions are soft and translucent, about 15 minutes.

3 – Turn the heat down to low and slowly stir in lemon juice.
