    This Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup is full of flavour, seriously healthy and perfectly rich!

    Since making this Creamy Tomato Soup and Creamy Corn Chowder, I've been thinking of other creamy soups I can make, and decided a healthy Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup was a must-make!

    I experimented with various ways to make the soup creamy, including adding cooked white rice before blending. Although the texture was thick and velvety, it was also a little gloopy and cloying, so, unsurprisingly, that version didn't make the cut. So, I returned to my trusty old friends, white beans, which when added to the soup and blended up create a seriously rich and creamy texture, and are so much less expensive than cashews.

    Why you'll love this Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup:

    • it's rich and creamy 
    • it's luxuriously smooth 
    • it's full of mushroom flavour
    • it's nutritious and healthy
    • it's easy to make
    • it comes together in one pot
    • it's easy to make in big batches
    • it's gluten-free!

    How to make this Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup

    Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe.

    • Fry the onion, garlic, celery and mushrooms for around 10 minutes.

    • Add the porcini mushrooms, almond milk, white beans, stock cube, salt + pepper and water.

    Tip: Use a measuring jug to measure out the almond milk and water.

    • Bring to the boil and simmer on a low heat for around 15 minutes.

    • Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender (or use a hand-held stick blender).

    • Whizz until completely smooth.

    Tip: Add more water to thin out if necessary.

    How long does this Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup keep for?

    This Mushroom Soup keeps covered in the fridge for up to a few days and freezes well. Reheat in a pot on the hob (stove) until piping hot - add a splash of water if necessary.

    Substitutions you can make to this recipe:

    • you can use any type of mushrooms: I used chestnut/button mushrooms but you can use any type
    • you can omit the porcini mushrooms if you can’t find them/don’t like strong mushroom flavours, but they do add so much flavour in my opinion
    • you can substitute the almond milk with cashew milk 
    • for a nut-free version, substitute the almond milk with oat milk!

      Oh my goodness this recipe is amazing! I've never really liked shop bought soup but recently have been making soups for my mum after she came out from hospital and I've decided soup is my new thing! I now love home made soup! This recipe is super delicious and so creamy! I added slightly less df milk and more water but it's so so yummy I went back for seconds and just so easy to make! I haven't had creamy soup for such a long time! So mushroomy too and who'd have thought to use butter beans! You are a genius! Do you think it'd work with leeks instead of mushrooms! I used to like potato and leek soup but potatoes give me sinus and allergic rhinitis! Yes I'm odd!

        Thank you so much, so happy to hear that! You can use leeks instead of mushrooms definitely! Butter beans are quite starchy so they'd be a good substitute for potatoes I think!
