When it’s wintertime, I only feel like eating warm and comforting foods to get the cold out of my body. Hot soups are the best choice for this because they are satiating, light and so good.
This recipe is made with white wine and vegetable broth, two special ingredients that make it even more delicious. Besides, this vegan cream is dairy-free, since I used coconut milk instead of dairy products to give it a satisfying silky texture and a smooth taste.

Hi! Can you tell me if it's canned coconut milk or coconut milk in a carton? Also, which white wine do you feel is the best to use?
Iosune Robles says
Hi Kelly! It's canned coconut milk 🙂 I can't help you choose the wine because we live in Spain and the brands are completely different here.
Jo says

Richard says
This is the best soup I have ever made, period. Vegan or non vegan. It's rich, thick and fragrant. I didn't have the right herbs so used herbs d'province and it was delicious. Totally recommend keeping the mushrooms whole. Thank you!

Kim says
This is a great recipe. I made a couple of changes. I skipped the vegan butter/oil (and just sauteed with water using a tablespoon at a time to prevent onion and garlic from sticking to pan) and replaced I replaced the coconut milk with cashew milk.
Iosune says

I substituted cassava flour to make gluten free. Spiced with a “Smoked Spanish Chorizo Rub” spice from my local Spanish Market. The smoky paprika gave it a nice kick. The white wine is a great addition!
