Creamy Mushroom Soup (Vegan & dairy free)

This delicious creamy soup is simple to make and really flavoursome – you can enjoy if you’re vegan or not & wouldn’t guess it’s dairy free!

It tastes so much better than tinned soup & doesn’t take much longer to make yourself from scratch with fresh ingredients.
