Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the cremini and shiitake mushrooms to the pot, stirring occasionally, and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, approximately 10 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Stir in the coconut milk and fresh thyme, and let the soup cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender, then return it to the pot once blended.
Add the lime juice to the soup, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot and enjoy your dairy-free Crema de Hongos!
