Soups

All the velvety comfort of classic cream of mushroom soup, made without any dairy. Soaked cashews blend into a silky cream, while our Organic Thyme and a pinch of Organic Chili Powder add earthy depth and gentle warmth. Try it with your favorite mushrooms; we love portobello or shiitake. Use vegetable broth and tamari to keep it plant-based and gluten-free.
