This is one of Mike's specialties and is one of the reasons I love Autumn. It's not only "sweata weatha" but "soup weatha"! I think it's different every time he makes it, but always delicious! He uses a box of veggie broth and a couple cans of coconut milk. This simmers with oyster mushrooms, although he used shitake this time. (I suppose you could use your favorite mushroom and get away with it). He adds salt and pepper to taste, jalapeno pepper to taste and adds lime zest. He tops off with green onion and cilantro before serving with some nice artisan bread. The flavors all compliment each other so nicely, it's truly a beautiful, tasty soup!

GREAT ALTERNATIVES!
My current three favorite alternatives all available at Trader Joe's!
Earth Balance natural buttery spread- tastes great and also works great for baking and cooking.
Tofutti "Cuties" are little perfect portion "icecream" sandwiches. Yummy!
Trader Joe's brand Soy Milk Creamer- perfect for coffee, hot cocoa or chai tea when you want a little creamier consistency than just soy milk but without the dairy! (Be sure to shake well before use as directed on package to avoid settled ingredients pouring out into your yummy drink.) Mike was getting annoyed by this, but once you shake it, the problem is gone!
