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

Frequently asked questions:

What goes with cream of mushroom soup?

I love adding broken crackers to my cream of mushroom soup! You can also serve this soup with a side salad or cooked vegetables. It also goes really well with bread or toast. Of course this soup is also good enough to eat all on it’s own!

Is cream of mushroom soup ok for diabetics?

That will all depend on the ingredients in the cream of mushroom soup but this cream of mushroom soup recipe is perfect for diabetics. It’s made with real ingredients and is low in sugar.
