Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 lb mushrooms, sliced

2 tbsp sweet paprika

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp dried thyme

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (such as almond or soy milk)

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Directions:

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

Add the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are tender.

Stir in the sweet and smoked paprika, dried thyme, and flour, and cook for 2-3 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.

Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a simmer, and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the flavors have melded together.

Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender in batches to blend until smooth.

Return the soup to the pot and stir in the non-dairy milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Simmer the soup for an additional 5-10 minutes to heat through and thicken slightly.

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
