Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 shallots, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 ounces smoked turkey bacon, chopped into small strips
  • 8 ounces cremini or baby bella mushrooms, wiped clean and thinly sliced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 3/4 cup pastina pasta
  • 3/4 cup plant-based cream
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Finishing Touches

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Finely dice the shallots and mince the garlic. Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth and slice thinly. Chop the smoked turkey bacon into small strips to ensure each spoonful is flavorful.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Smoked Turkey Bacon: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, cooking until fragrant and soft. Then add the smoked turkey bacon and sauté until crisp and golden, releasing a smoky aroma.
  3. Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot, stirring occasionally. Cook until they release their juices and turn golden brown, enhancing their umami flavor.
  4. Add Broth and Pastina: Pour in the vegetable broth along with the fresh thyme sprigs. Bring to a gentle boil, then add the pastina. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until the pasta is tender but not mushy.
  5. Create Creamy Base: Lower the heat and stir in the plant-based cream and apple cider vinegar (natural) to brighten the flavors. Slowly sprinkle in the natural gelling agent, stirring to achieve a silky, thickened broth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Finish with Fresh Herbs: Remove the thyme stems and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving hot.

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm mushrooms for the best texture and flavor.
  • Watch the pastina closely to prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Slowly add the natural gelling agent to avoid clumping and ensure smooth consistency.
  • For extra flavor, toast the pastina lightly in the pot before adding the broth.
  • Adjust the apple cider vinegar (natural) to balance the soup’s acidity to your preference.
