• Prepare vegetables as per ingredients notes above.

On the hob method

• Heat up the oil in a large pot and add onion, garlic, mushrooms and potato. Sautee for approx. 10 min until vegetables start to soften slightly. 
• Add dried thyme, some salt and pepper, stock and bring it to boil. Lower the heat and simmer for approx. 20 minutes or until veggies are soft.
• When the soup is almost ready add washed spinach and let it wilt. It won't take long at all, couple of minutes is all you need here.
• Turn off the heat and puree the soup until smooth or to desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if required.
• Serve with a swirl of plant based cream and drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Enjoy!
