Though I have started cooking mushrooms more frequently after turning a vegetarian, I always loved them. And, if you are a mushroom lover too then definitely try this creamy vegan mushroom soup recipe.

It's thick and creamy with chunks of mushroom giving it an interesting texture. The soup is gently flavored with just some thyme, garlic, and pepper which gives a very rich and prominent taste of mushrooms to the soup.

Making it is also very simple, you just need a handful of basic ingredients and one pot to make it.

What goes in this vegan cream of mushroom soup?

Ingredients required to make vegan mushroom soup
Ingredients required to make vegan mushroom soup

To make this vegan mushroom soup, you need the following ingredients:

  1. Mushrooms: I have used white button mushrooms but you can also use brown or cremini mushrooms to make this soup.
  2. Oat milk: I have used oat milk, you can also use coconut milk or any other plant-based milk of your choice. 
  3. Vegetable stock: Water can be used too but stock makes the soup more flavourful.
  4. Garlic: Garlic powder can be used too.
  5. Onion: I have used red onion. Use whichever variety is available to you.
  6. Corn starch: To make the soup thick and creamy
  7. Cooking oil: Vegan butter can be added too for extra richness
  8. Salt & pepper
  9. Dried thyme: Use any herb of your choice to flavor it. A blend of herbs can be used too.

How to make it?

  1. Making this vegan mushroom is very easy. You just need to follow the following simple steps:
  2. Finely chop the onion, mince garlic cloves, and slice the mushrooms.
  3. Heat oil in a pan. Add onion, garlic, and saute until the onion turns translucent.
  4. Add mushrooms and add until they start releasing moisture. 
  5. Add thyme, salt, and pepper. Saute for a minute.
  6. Next, add vegetable stock, mix, and cover the pan. Cook for around 10 minutes.
  7. Remove the lid and add milk. Stir continuously for around 2 minutes and then cook the soup uncovered for another 2-3 minutes.
  8. Mix corn and water in a bowl and add to the pot. Stir continuously for a minute to avoid lumps. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Switch off the gas.
  9. Garnish with ground pepper and fresh herbs.

Recipe tips & tricks

  1. To make the soup tastier and more interesting, use a combination of different mushrooms you like.
  2. If you don't like chunks of mushrooms in your mushroom soup and prefer a creamier soup, blend the soup after adding vegetable stock.
  3. For extra creaminess, add coconut cream to the soup.

What to serve with it?

Serve this vegan cream of mushroom soup hot with toasted bread, or garlic bread. You can also serve a crunchy salad on the side.

I also like having a side dish like oven-baked potato wedges with this soup.

How to store?

You can store this soup in the fridge for around 3 days. 

For a longer period, put it in a freezer-safe container, it will be fine for around 3 months. It's best to store the soup in serving-size containers so that only the amount of soup you are planning to consume at one time is taken out of the freezer.

    Simple & delicious. I sautéed the mushrooms until they released most of their water & took on a deeper color. It’s really remarkable how rich & flavorful this is!
