In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat.
Add garlic, celery, mushrooms, fresh thyme, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook for 10 mins or until the mushrooms are cooked through and have released a lot of their liquid. Some mushroom "juice" on the bottom will add extra flavor to your soup.
Add soy sauce and mix to coat the mushrooms. Set aside a bit of this cooked mushroom for garnish which is optional.
Add the non dairy milk and vegetable broth, cook for 10 mins at a simmer.
Now add the NOOCH IT! and cornstarch slurry and bring to a boil, cook until soup thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with cooked mushrooms, fresh thyme and NOOCH IT!.
Serve with toasted sourdough bread, or other bread of your choice, for dipping in the soup.
