Why you’ll love this vegan cream of mushroom soup: 

  • Quick: Prep this dairy-free cream of mushroom soup in 5-minutes and have it ready in 35. No sitting in your kitchen all day simmering this 
  • Creamy: I love a good creamy soup, but often that comes with dairy. This recipe is fully vegan and dairy-free but has no loss of creaminess
  • Delicious: The combo of the hearty mushrooms with the warming spices like sage, thyme, and rosemary, really make a delicious soup

Ingredient Notes: 

Mushrooms: Portabello mushrooms have an intense flavor and a meaty texture. In this vegan cream of mushroom soup recipe, they add that added heartiness and taste delicious. Not to mention they have B vitamins, are rich in minerals, and are a great source of fiber in this dairy-free cream of mushroom soup. 

Herbs: I use fresh in this recipe for the best flavor but you can substitute the fresh with dried if you don’t have them on hand. Just make sure you have the right conversions by doing a simple Google search as it’s not always 1:1.

How to make dairy-free cream of mushroom soup: 

  1. Finely dice the yellow onion and portabello mushrooms.
  2. Add olive oil into a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. 
  3. Transfer the onion to the pot and cook for 2 – 3 minutes until soft + fragrant. Add the diced portabello mushrooms and cook until soft, where most of the water is evaporated. (this will take 8 – 10 minutes)
  4. Finely chop the fresh rosemary, thyme, and sage.  Reduce the heat to medium, and add the fresh herbs and other spices to the mushrooms. Allow this to cook until the mushrooms are golden brown.  Add the vegetable stock to the mushrooms, and allow to cook for 5-10 minutes to bring out the flavors.
  5. Combine a small amount of coconut milk with the all-purpose flour in a small bowl, whisk until thoroughly combined, with no lumps. Add the flour/coconut milk mixture to the stock + mushrooms along with the rest of the coconut milk.  Stir as the mixture begins to thicken. Once bubbling and no longer thickening, remove from heat or keep on low heat until ready to serve. 
  6. Serve with drizzled olive oil, red chili flakes, and fresh herbs if you desire! Enjoy!

This was absolutely delicious! Made as written except for one swap. My husband does not enjoy the taste of coconut milk (he detects it every time!) so I blended equal parts soy milk and silken tofu to get about 400 ml. It worked great – a nice vegan option that’s creamier than almond milk. Fabulous recipe! Thank you!

Delicious!!! I had to substitute some herbs because I didn’t have them all but I love this soup. Creamy and delicious. I did have to add a cornstarch slurry to thicken it after the flour didn’t do much. I will make this many times over!!!
