Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 diced yellow onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened, then add 3 minced garlic cloves and 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are golden and release their liquid.
  2. Step 2: Add 4 cups vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  3. Step 3: Remove the pot from heat and let cool slightly. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender, add 1 pitted avocado, and blend until completely smooth (about 2 minutes).
  4. Step 4: Return the soup to the pot and stir in 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Heat over low heat for 3 minutes until warmed through (do not boil).
  5. Step 5: Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve immediately.
