Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook, stirring often, until they have released most of their moisture and begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle in the dried thyme and rosemary, stirring to combine with the mushrooms.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Allow to cook for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the coconut milk and nutritional yeast, allowing to warm through but not boil.
Season with salt and ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot, or carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, blending until smooth.
Once blended, return the soup to the pot and reheat gently if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
