- 4 -5 cups vegetable stock
- 1 (15 ounce) can white kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 3 medium size potatoes, cubed
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground oregano
- 1⁄2 teaspoon herbes de provence (a fine herbes mix would work as well)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground marjoram
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 2 -3 drops liquid smoke (optional)
- salt
- 1 cup water
- 1 1⁄2 cups green peas (fresh or frozen)

- 1⁄4 teaspoon tamari soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, sliced

directions
- In a deep saucepan heat the oil. Add onions and 4 garlic cloves, lightly sauté until soft.
- Add carrot and celery and fry at medium heat for 2 minutes.
- Add the vegetable broth, potatoes, beans, salt, and spices. Bring to boil, reduce heat, and simmer until all the vegetables are tender (~ 15 minutes).
- Meanwhile, put the peas in cold water. Bring to boil and boil for 1 minute, drain.
- Pure green peas, coriander, and fennel with a food processor. Add lemon juice and a splash of Tamari sauce. Add water if the mixture is too thick (I had to add about 2 tbsp).
- In the skillet, heat up the olive oil (med. temperature). Add the sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and mushrooms. Fry for 2-3 minutes.
- Mash the base with the potato-masher until thick, but chunky. Add the liquid smoke and adjust for saltiness.
- To serve, lade the soup in the plate. Put some mushrooms in the middle of the soup and pour the coulis around. Sprinkle with chopped shallots, sprouts, and coriander.
