Savory Vegan Mushroom Noodle Soup

Ingredients

1 box Oceans Halo No Chicken Broth
1 box Smallhold Umami Mushrooms
1 box Blue Oyster Mushrooms
3 sliced green onions
1 sliced purple onion
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
3 dollops Bravado Black Garlic Carolina Reaper Sauce (adjust to your spice preference! 🔥)
Dash of cracked black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon Anika Georgian Seasoning blend (from Trader Joe’s)
3 or 4 large scoops Miyokos Creamery Salted Vegan Butter
1 packet Konjac oat noodles
4 bulbs Purple garlic or regular garlic

Equipment

Large pot
Frying pan
Garlic press (highly recommended!)

Instructions

Sauté your chosen mushrooms in a frying pan with vegan butter. Use a garlic press to add crushed garlic, then season with desired spices and seasonings to enhance the flavor.
Set aside the sautéed mushrooms; you'll add them to the soup later.
Bring your no-chicken broth to a boil in a large pot.
While the broth heats, soak the Konjac oat noodles ahead of time as per package instructions. Once the broth boils, add the soaked noodles to the pot and cook for a few minutes.
Stir in the sautéed mushrooms, sliced green onions, purple onion, garlic powder, cracked black pepper, Italian seasoning, and Anika Georgian Seasoning blend into the soup.
Add the Black Garlic Carolina Reaper Sauce to your desired spice and flavor level. Remember, a little goes a long way – less is often more!
Serve hot and enjoy this nourishing, plant-based mushroom powerhouse!

Variations & Adaptations

Make it Creamier: For an even richer soup, stir in a splash of plant-based milk (like oat or cashew milk) or a spoonful of vegan cream cheese at the end.
Gluten-Free Option: Konjac noodles are naturally gluten-free! Ensure your chosen broth is also certified gluten-free for a completely GF meal.
Add More Veggies: Feel free to toss in other quick-cooking vegetables like spinach, chopped carrots, or bell peppers for extra nutrition and color.
Boost Protein: Incorporate cubed firm tofu or edamame for an additional protein kick.
Mushroom Medley: Experiment with different mushroom varieties like shiitake, cremini, or enoki to find your perfect flavor profile.

Tips & Hacks

Garlic Press is Your Friend: A garlic press makes quick work of fresh garlic, ensuring even distribution of flavor without chunky bits.
Noodle Prep Matters: Don't skip soaking the Konjac noodles! It helps them achieve the best texture for your soup.
Taste as You Go: When it comes to seasonings and spice, always start with less and add more to taste. You can always add, but you can't take away!
Reduce Food Waste: Consider getting produce from services like Imperfect Produce to embrace being a waste-free food warrior. It's a great way to add biodiversity to your diet beyond the most common crops like corn, wheat, potatoes, rice, sugar, and soy.
