When the temperatures start dipping all you want to do is cozy up on your sofa with a good book and a bowl of warm and comforting soup. Our version of this dairy free Cream of Mushroom Soup is just what will do the trick at this time.
This soup is the real deal. You won’t know it’s dairy free or gluten free for that matter. Its made with a combination of some basic spices, mushrooms (of course) and coconut cream.
Now we know that not everything that is dairy free should be coconut based. In fact a lot of you guys don’t like the taste of coconut as well. However we promise the coconut pairs brilliantly well with the mushrooms and you can’t taste it at all.
While we have garnished this Cream of Mushroom Soup with some olives and black pepper we also love using hemp seeds, dried coconut flakes or even pecan nuts for that matter.
We made this mushroom soup using button mushrooms but this works well with cremini mushrooms as well. This soup is not only dairy free but is also Vegan, Paleo, Keto and Whole 30 making it extremely versatile across various lifestyles.
Mushrooms are highly nutritious, low carbs and an excellent source of antioxidants, B Vitamins, Copper and Potassium.
We are in absolute love with this soup and you will be too once you try our version. It is light on the stomach, delightfully delicious and extremely soulfilling.
Lets get you ready for some soup then…
