This soup is earthy and full flavored, redolent with onions and garlic, and thick with baby bella mushrooms in a rich vegetable broth. I based this recipe on the mushroom soup recipe at The Kitchn. I left out the dried mushrooms (since our own veggie broth used in this recipe was made with oven-dried mushrooms) and the 4 tablespoons of butter, bringing the cost and the fat way down. This soup will warm and comfort you on the coldest day!

Recipe Notes
Use a rich and savory vegetable stock like the one linked in the ingredients. If you don't use our recipe, add 1/2 oz. of minced dried mushrooms to the wine and water, bring to a boil and steep for 20 minutes before adding to the pot with your vegetable broth, and use whatever spices you prefer.
