Vegan Green Bean Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Cashew Cream:
5 cups vegetable broth
1 1/2 cups cashews
4 teaspoons cornstarch
Soup:
1 cup white wine
5 ounces button mushrooms
1/2 sweet onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup lemon juice
16 cups cooked green beans
5 1/3 cups French-fried onions (such as French's(R)), divided
4 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place mushrooms in a blender or food processor; pulse until pureed.
Blend vegetable broth, cashews, and cornstarch together in a blender until cream is smooth.
Stir white wine, mushrooms, onion, garlic, thyme, and salt together in a large pot over medium heat until mushrooms are softened, about 3 minutes.
Pour cream into soup; cook and stir until the soup thickens, about 7 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and lemon juice.
Transfer the soup to a casserole dish; mix green beans, 1 1/3 cup of the fried onions, soy sauce, and pepper into the soup until combined.
Bake in the preheated oven until the mixture is bubbly and warmed through, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and top with remaining fried onions.
