Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe

Why this is the best Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup

• It’s so much better than canned cream of mushroom soup! It’s so rich and creamy with the most delicious flavour. This soup is going to become your new favourite comfort food.
• It’s really easy to make and also freezes really well if you are doing meal prep or want leftovers.
• It’s dairy free and gluten free and made with coconut milk, vegetable broth, cremini mushrooms, onions, garlic and spices.
• Besides being vegan it’s also paleo and Whole30 compliant!

Key ingredients and equipment for this vegan cream of mushroom soup:

• A large stockpot
• Coconut oil
• Onion and garlic
• Corn starch – to help the soup thicken (substitute with tapioca starch if you are avoiding grains)
• Cremini mushrooms (or other mushroom of choice – any type of mushroom will work)
• Vegetable broth and full fat coconut milk
• Spices: sea salt, ground black pepper, sage, thyme and nutmeg

Tips for making this paleo cream of mushroom soup:

• Feel free to use another type of mushroom, other than cremini mushrooms (any type of mushroom would work for this recipe)
• I use pre-sliced mushrooms to make this soup even easier to make!
• Use tapioca starch instead of corn starch if you are following a grain free diet including a paleo or Whole30 diet
• I don’t recommend using low fat coconut milk for this recipe. Full fat coconut milk helps gives this soup it’s delicious rich and creamy texture and flavour
• If you can’t have coconut milk I would use cashew milk instead
• Store this soup in the fridge in an air-tight container for up to 5 days
• This soup freezes really well
• If you prefer a smooth soup, once it’s done cooking use your immersion blender and blend it until smooth
• You can use this soup to make other dishes such as green bean casserole or chicken casserole
