Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference.
Depending on the Vitamix model you have, you may be able to use the "Soup" or "Warm" setting and blend the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes to "warm" up the soup and still keep it "raw".
Optional: Garnish with extra sliced mushrooms, fresh chopped red onions or organic ground black pepper.
Store in an air-tight BPA-free container in the refrigerator.
Notes
Water: Can be substituted with organic veggie broth in the same amount if you don't need the recipe to be 100% raw.Mushrooms: I used 1 1/2 cups of organic portobello + 1 1/2 cups of organic shitake mushrooms, but feel free to use any variety or combination you prefer.Pine Nuts: Can be substituted with organic raw cashews if you didn't need the recipe to be 100% Lectin-Free. Just soak the cashews in filtered/purified water for about 30-60 minutes before making your soup so the mixture will be creamy and smooth.Red Onion: I like to use this variety, but you could use white or yellow onion as well. However, I don't recommend a sweet onion since this is a savory recipe.Garlic: Freshly crushed garlic will give the best flavor and health benefits.Thyme: Fresh thyme will give the best flavor but you could also use dried organic thyme.Himalayan Pink Salt: This is my salt of preference, however, it can always be substituted with sea salt.Warming The Soup: You can warm the soup of the "Soup" setting of your Vitamix and blend it for an additional 2-3 minutes and still keep it "raw". If you didn't need the recipe to be 100% raw, you could transfer it to a small saucepan and warm it on low heat on the stovetop.Serving Size: This recipe will make approximately (4) cups. Nutritional information is for (1) cup which is (1) serving.
