Rich, creamy & filling!
[I don’t believe soy sauce is raw, but I didn’t have any applicable substitutes.]
Ingredients:
3 cup shiitake mushrooms
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoon soy sauce, [or applicable
substitute]
salt
pepper
1 cup nuts, soaked
2 stalks of celery
2 clove
garlic
1 handful of parsley
¼ cup lemon juice
water
Preparation:
I had dehydrated shiitakes. I soaked them in water to soften them. If you have fresh, then you get to skip this step! :)
Add mushrooms, olive oil, soy sauce [or applicable substitute], salt & pepper to a bowl. Mix to coat. Allow to marinate for several hours.
Add mushrooms [with about half a cup reserved for garnish] & rest of ingredients to the blender. Add water a little at a time to get mixture going & reach your preferred texture.
Chop reserved mushrooms.
Ladle soup into a bowl.
Garnish with topped mushrooms.
Sit.
Relax.
Enjoy.

Amazingly tasty and full of flavour ! Unfortunately I didn't have celery this time.
I used a mix of different nuts.

I made this tonight! My first raw soup and anything remotely like a main course besides salad! WOW, it's REALLY GOOD! I didn't have celery, but no matter...I added some chopped spring onions, leftover from making Zoe's cheese! I didn't have hours, so I tossed the shrooms in the dehydrator to marinate and warm up. Also added some of the chopped onions and a clove of garlic to that mess, and some dry summer savory leaf.
I used a mix of lemon and lime juice for the juicy bit and cashews for the nuts. I bet walnuts would be good too, they have the same kinda rich earthiness as shiitakes. I added a dash of savory, paprika, rosemary, and thyme to the juice in the blender, and more green onion when I blended everything down. I garnished with chopped green onions and served with a small slice of Zoe's Essene bread and spring onion cheese.
Delicious! Wish I could get the soup hotter, but it's a small price to pay. This made 2 hearty servings btw!
Has anyone tried this with any seeds yet? It's good with the cashews, I just don't want to even think about the fat content in the half cup of cashews I'm currently devouring!

Mon46, try some sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds (latter might give a stronger taste), it should work fine or just leave out the nuts, you get a thinner soup and you may need to add more spices. The key to any mushroom dishes in my opinion is the ample use of freshly ground pepper.

This looks great. Is there a substitution for the nuts, though?
