Pink Oyster mushroom chowder
by Jonathan TovellThis Pink Oyster recipe has a slightly longer prep and cook time than our other recipes, and it is worth it. The mushroom absorbs other ingredients well and gives off a slight bacon flavour.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cashews, soaked for 2 hours
- 1/2 Pink Oyster Mushrooms
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 celery sticks, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 jalapeno, chopped
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 3 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1.5 lbs yellow or white potatoes, chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 4 cups milk
- Bacon (or tempeh bacon) to garnish as desired
- 1 scallion, sliced
- 4 lemon wedges
- 1/4 cup microgreens
Directions
Soak cashews for 2 hours, then blend them with the milk in a blender until smooth. Set aside.
If garnishing with the bacon, chop the bacon into small pieces, then spread onto parchment on an air fryer tray and cook at 400 Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
Preheat your soup pot, then fry the chopped Pink Oyster mushrooms over medium-low heat. Set aside in a bowl once browned.
Sauté the onion for a few minutes, then add the celery and sauté about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapeno if you're using them and sauté one more minute or two.
Stir in the herbs, spices and wine, turning up the heat to medium-high and simmering for a minute or two.
Add the potatoes, broth, and cashew/milk mixture, turning the heat up to high for a broil. Once boiling, bring it down to a simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Using an immersion blender or hand mixer, blend the soup enough to be creamy or until fully blended. Stir in the mushrooms, then serve with the garnishes. This chowder can keep in the fridge for a few days or a few months in the freezer.
