Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup
This delicious cream of mushroom soup will have you going back for seconds! And as always it’s vegan and gluten-free!
Once upon a time I hated mushrooms. However, times have a changed and I now incorporate them regularly in my meals. For me it was a texture thing, not necessarily the flavor. If this is you or someone you know, this recipe is for you. It’s full a flavor, but without the mushroom texture; the perfect way to ease into mushroom eating.
Mushrooms are one of the healthiest foods on the planet. They’re high in antioxidants, protein, B vitamins, vitamin D, fiber, folate, and zinc. They’ve been shown to reduce inflammation in the body, improve energy and brain function as well as reducing cholesterol.

Ingredients:
- 2 large portobello mushrooms, chopped
- 2 cups mixed mushrooms (I used a bag of frozen mushrooms)
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp tamari
- 1/2 tsp oregano, dried
- 1/2 tsp basil, dried
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- In a medium sized pot add mushrooms with a few tablespoons of vegetable broth of water and sauté for 10 minutes with lid on top. Stir frequently to make sure they’re not sticking and/or don’t need a bit more liquid.
- Add all other ingredients and cook for 10 minutes covered with lid.
- Carefully ladle the hot soup into a blender and blend until smooth. You could also use an immersion blender.
- Taste test to see if you’d like to add salt or pepper.
- Serve and enjoy!
