To begin pour the vegan cream of mushroom and cashew cream in the bottom of the slow cooker.

CASHEW CREAM INSTRUCTIONS:

To make your own cashew cream simply blend 1 cup of cashews and 1 cup of plant milk until smooth.  


Breaking the soy curls into bite-sized pieces.

Sometimes soy curls can be rather large once they are rehydrated, so I like to break them into bite-sized pieces.  

I know a lot of you are going to ask me where I get the soy curls from, so I post the Amazon link I purchased them from HERE.  


The dry soy curls added to the slow cooker.

Once you've finished breaking the soy curls into bite-sized pieces, place them in the crockpot as well. 


Carrots, celery, and onion being added to the crockpot.

Now add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic to the slow cooker. 


Vegetable broth being added to the slow cooker.

Add the vegetable broth to the crockpot.

All of the ingredients in the slow cooker being stirred together.

Give everything a good stir.

Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4 hours.
