- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste

To start, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 10 minutes.

Once the soup is done cooking, use an immersion blender or transfer it to a blender and blend until smooth. If the soup is too thick, you can add more vegetable broth to thin it out.
Garnish the soup with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve hot.
