Mushroom Soup
Mushrooms can be a kidney-friendly ingredient when consumed in moderation. In place of dairy, this recipe uses flour to thicken and a non-dairy yogurt for a creamier and pleasing texture.

Cooking Tip
Try putting the thyme springs into a tea infuser and drop it into the soup to cook. This way, it is easier from the hot soup when you are ready to serve.
