Instructions
Dry sautee your sliced mushrooms in your pot on medium to high to medium-high heat until they start to color. Add your onions and minced mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms and onions are caramelized (golden brown; deglaze with extra cider vinegar as needed for more flavor).
Simply mix all the ground dry ingredients with 1 cup of the water. Then add everything to the pot, mix well, and bring to a boil.
Once the soup is boiling then lower the heat to a simmer (very low) for 5 to 10 minutes. Now blend a portion of it, either right inside of the pot with an immersion blender, or you can also take out a cup or two and blend it in a blender (just make sure it's not too hot for your blender container). Stir all of the soup well and garnish with fresh green spring onions and parsley.

Notes
If you want a smooth mushroom soup without chunks then simply blend all of the soup with your blending device until it's silky smooth.
If you want it smooth, but with whole slices of mushroom then just reserve half of the mushrooms after dry sauteeing them.
