Vegan Gluten-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup
Savory homemade cream of mushroom soup for casseroles and beyond! Vegan, gluten-free, and the perfect swap for the classic canned version. Just 1 pot, 9 ingredients, and 25 minutes required!
Servings 4 (1/2-cup servings)
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil (DIVIDED)
- 1 large shallot, finely diced (1 large shallot yields ~3/4 cup or 120 g // or sub white or yellow onion)
- 1 ½ cups roughly chopped mushrooms (cremini or white button // 4 oz yield ~ 1 ½ cups)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 3 Tbsp MB 1:1 Gluten-Free Flour Blend* (or all-purpose if not gluten-free)
- 1 cup mushroom broth or stock (or sub vegetable broth)
- 3/4 cup unsweetened plain almond milk (or other neutral, dairy-free milk)
- 1 tiny pinch nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat 1 Tbsp (15 ml) oil over medium-low heat. Add diced shallot and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
- Add the remaining 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of oil and the mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they have lost most of their moisture — about 6-7 minutes. Add garlic, salt, and pepper and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the gluten-free flour and toss to evenly coat the mushrooms. Slowly add the mushroom stock (or broth) and dairy-free milk to the mushroom mixture while stirring continuously. Sprinkle in the nutmeg (optional) and cook for 2-3 more minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or the freezer for 1 month. Use in casseroles, pasta, or any recipe that calls for canned cream of mushroom soup. You can add more milk to loosen if needed when ready to use!
Notes
*Recipe as written makes ~2 cups or enough to replace two (10 ½ oz.) cans of condensed cream of mushroom soup.
*Our DIY Gluten-Free Flour Blend and similar store-bought blends also work in this recipe but don't thicken it quite as well. Add more, if desired, for a thicker result.
*Adapted from our Vegan Green Bean Casserole.
