Ok, I absolutely LOVE to make creamy casseroles, the problem is the cream of mushroom soup that you buy in a can at the supermarket is definitely NOT part of a healthy eating lifestyle.
In fact, did you know that just one can of the name brand condensed soup (you know who I mean) has a whopping 1931mg of sodium in it? WHAT?!?!?! And, that’s not even to mention the whole list of preservatives and other questionable ingredients. How crazy is that!!
So, in true “Unconventional Foodie” fashion, I’ve created this absolutely delicious, super easy and budget friendly vegan, gluten-free cream of mushroom soup recipe for you. This soup is so good that Richie dove into it as soon as it was done, so hubby approved. Another win! YAY!!!
YAY!!! I LOVE that I can now create some of my favorite creamy casserole dishes without the guilt. Check out how I used this healthy cream of mushroom soup in my Green Bean Casserole recipe.
The other really fabulous part of this recipe is that you can sub out the mushrooms for ANY ingredient to make cream of anything soup. So, exit mushrooms, enter celery or chicken or asparagus or…..
Bon Appetit!
Healthy Cream of Mushroom Soup
Ingredients
- 1 C mushrooms chopped
- 1 TBSP coconut oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 C vegetable broth no salt added
- 1 C almond milk unsweetened
- 1/2 C almond flour
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt

- 1/2 tsp dried thyme

- 2 TBSP arrowroot starch
Instructions
- Heat coconut oil in medium saucepan over medium heat

- Add vegetable stock and seasonings, stir to combine well and bring to a simmer
- Meanwhile, combine nut milk, arrowroot and flour.
- Stir milk/flour mixture to simmering soup, stir to thoroughly combine and heat through. Soup will thicken as it cooks.

Notes
- Alternatively, you can allow soup to cool somewhat, then transfer to a food processor or blender. Just be careful, hot liquids in a blender can burn.
- This is a direct replacement for 2 cans of condensed cream of mushroom soup

- Substitute the mushrooms for celery, asparagus, chicken, etc. Healthy cream of anything soup.
