I haven’t had the opportunity to use coconut milk a lot in my cooking, but every time I do I tell myself to use it more often.  It adds the most luxurious texture and is a great dairy free, vegan option.

Quinoa, thankfully, is still holding strong.  I know people starting getting sick of hearing about it, but there’s a reason it is still so popular.  Quinoa is super simple to make and is a powerhouse of nutrition!

I find cooking quinoa in water to be plain boring.  I feel the same way about rice.  Whenever you have the opportunity to impart flavor in your dish, do so.  Using vegetable broth gives the quinoa much more flavor.

HOW TO MAKE MUSHROOM & COCONUT QUINOA SOUP:

The ingredients to make this mushroom coconut quinoa soup are quite simple, basic pantry staples really.

  • You want to precook the quinoa and set it aside to cool.
  • The next step is to soften the hard, crunchy vegetables in a little oil.   Then sauté the mushrooms down until all the liquid is gone and they too are soft.
  • Adding the spices to the oil and NOT after the broth allows them to really open up and flavor the veggies.  As soon as you smell them you can add the broth.
  • Once all the veggies are completely soft and have simmered you can add the coconut milk to incorporate it.
  • You can add the quinoa now or if you plan on saving most of this soup, you can refrigerate the two separately and adding it as you reheat the soup.

What gives this soup that delicious, deep, rich flavor is all in the coconut milk.  Please use full fat.  While coconut milk is high in fat, it’s high in GOOD fats and is extremely versatile in your cooking.

It adds a ton of creaminess without all the work.  It has a subtle flavor but adds a richness to this soup that milk or daily just couldn’t provide.
