Oyster Mushrooms are a delicious variety that lends to various dishes from grilled, stir-fry, deep-fried, sautéed, or in soup. The flavor profile of this mushroom is lightly sweet and earthy with a hint of anise. The texture is dependent on the type, with a range from light and tender to firm and dense. Oyster Mushroom Soup is a delicious broth-like soup with an Asian influence of flavors. We wanted to create a light but flavorful soup that was warming and refreshing for this recipe. This soup is an excellent choice for a light meal with green onions, celery, ginger, oyster mushrooms, galangal, and lemongrass. This dish is fantastic on its own or paired with any of your favorite Asian soup noodles or chunks of tofu. We hope you enjoy our recipe for Oyster Mushroom Soup as a great quick and easy delicious meal that's vegan-friendly.
