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
