Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz Pearl couscous
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 green onions thinly sliced thinly sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 12 oz mushrooms sliced (cremini, shiitake, or a mix)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 5 tbsp white miso
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk or heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter in a pot and sauté the green onions and garlic for 1-2 minutes. Then, add the mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the mushrooms soft.
  • Add the stock and miso and bring to a boil while stirring. Once boiling, reduce to low heat and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the pearl couscous into the pot and cook according to package – should be around 15 minutes until tender but still slightly firm.
  • Stir in the soy sauce and coconut milk into the pot and whisk it into the soup. Stir the soup until it has a smooth, creamy texture. Do not allow the soup to boil.
  • Serve and garnish with leftover green onions.
