Instructions

Step 1

Start by adding garlic, onion, carrot, celery, shiitake mushrooms, thyme and ¼ tsp sea salt to a large pot and sauté for about 15 minutes on medium heat.

Step 2

Then add in all remaining ingredients into the pot, cover with the lid and bring to a boil.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to a low simmer for 1 hour.

Step 4

Once the soup is cooked, transfer about 2 cups into a blender and blend on high for about 5 seconds and pour it back into the soup and mix.

Step 5

If you want a chunky soup, you can skip this step or only blend 1 cup.

Step 6

Top with fresh parsley.

Step 7

I like to add cooked penne pasta or serve with and gluten free toast and lemon wedges.
