Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup is an essential ingredient in the kitchen for many recipes. This soup can easily be made dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan.
If you’re looking for a delicious substitute for cream of mushroom soup this is it!
I have never really loved the canned cream of mushroom soup. I always felt it lacked flavor and I always wanted more mushroom bits. Making it homemade you can control the ingredients, the sodium, the herbs, the amount of veggies. It’s really fresh and super delicious.
Recipe ingredient notes
- Mushrooms – We use baby bella mushrooms for more flavor.
- Onions – Yellow onion is preferred, they add great flavor.
- Oil – This is needed to sautee the veggies.
- Herbs and seasonings – All about the flavor!
- Flour – We use flour to thicken the soup.
- Chicken Broth – We use our own homemade chicken broth to control the sodium and flavor. You can use vegetable broth and plant based milk to make this a vegan cream of mushroom soup.
- Milk – We use oat milk to make it a dairy free cream of mushroom soup. Oat milk thickens up beautifully
