Creamy Walnut-Mushroom Soup with Thyme
Recipe from Vegetarian Times

Mushroom soup in summer? Try this recipe and you'll be sold on the concept. Ground walnuts provide a creamy, filling soup base that complements the flavors of a marinated mushroom topping. We've called for easy-to-find cremini mushrooms, but feel free to make the recipe with wild mushroom varieties from the farmers' market.
