You can find oyster mushrooms at your local Asian Grocery Store.

You would think in this day in age it would be easy to find. But as the writing of this post, I have not been able to find it. But the there’s a silver lining because homemade is always best anyway!

Substitution, Cook, and Storage Tips:

- 1 cup full fat coconut milk
- sea salt and black pepper to taste.

Instructions
- First clean your oyster and baby bella mushrooms by taking a damp paper towel and wiping your mushrooms off one by one. Don't rinse your mushrooms because mushrooms hold a lot of water. Slice your baby bella mushrooms and place in a bowl. (You can keep your oyster mushrooms whole or shred them; your choice). Set aside.
- Heat vegan butter and oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until melted. Sauté onion for 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Next add garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Add oyster mushrooms, baby bella mushrooms to pot. Cook for 5 minutes until mushrooms soften.

Notes

- WINE: This recipe calls for white wine for a more rich flavor but is optional and can be omitted.
- CHICKPEA FLOUR: The amount of thickness depends on how much of flour you add. This is not a condensed version of cream of mushroom soup used to make recipes like cornbread dressing. You can substitute with whatever flour you have on hand. (NOTE: I do not know if this will work with other gluten free flours besides chickpea flour but you are welcome to test it out yourself.)
- STORAGE: This soups stores well in the refrigerator for up 3 to 4 days and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
