Homemade cream of mushroom soup tastes so much better than the variety wrapped in aluminum and is also much healthier!

The soup can be served alone as a meal, or you can use it to add to any recipe that calls for “cream of mushroom soup” in the ingredient list.

Ingredients

    For the Soup:
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 pound mushrooms, any kind, sliced into 1/4 inch-thick pieces
  • 3/4 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
  • Few dashes of freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot
  • 1 1/2 cups bone broth or meat stock
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons tamari sauce (I prefer Ohsawa

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in mushrooms, salt and pepper. Cook until mushrooms have released their moisture, about 8 minutes. Add arrowroot while continuously stirring and cook for about 30 seconds. Stir in stock and cream and simmer until soup is thick and reduced, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the soy sauce, and serve.

    This is soooo my type of soup. I love mushrooms so much that THERE IS ACTUAL PAIN involved. I'm really okay though. I just need this soup.

    I've never eaten cream of mushroom soup outside of a casserole. :) But this sounds quite good! Speaking of casseroles, I've got several grain-free ones (chicken casseroles, mostly) that call for cream of (whatever, usually mushroom or celery) soups. Could this be used? The recipes call for condensed soups, so I would imagine decreasing other liquids (or increasing solids?) might make the casserole less soupy.

    Thank you so much for posting this! I can't tell you the number of times I've come across other recipes that call for cream of mushroom soup and I did NOT want to use industrial canned stuff. Now I can make and freeze my own to have on hand!

    I really love your blog and am so happy to have stumbled upon it a couple of months ago. Your mushroom soup recipe sounds delicious, however it's not grain free. The Nama Shoyu sauce recommended is made from soy beans and wheat. Therefore, it is not grain free or gluten-free, so those with gluten sensitivity or Celiac's Disease should not use it. They should use a gluten-free soy sauce or tamari instead, because they are made from only soy, salt, and water. Since I am gluten sensitive, I use San-J Organic Tamari, which is wheat free. I really love your blog and am so happy to have stumbled upon it a couple of months ago.

      Thanks for pointing that out. I actually used the tamari in the soup and accidentally typed "soy sauce". I made the edit. Thanks!

    I will have to try your brand when I am back in the states in December. I currently teach at an AFB overseas, so supplies are limited. I stock up on some staples when I am stateside. Many Amazon suppliers won't ship to APOs. I can find some things on the local economy, but not all and what the commissary stocks is limited, although better than it used to be.

    I'm SO glad to see this recipe. I used to use Cream of Mushroom and Cream of Chicken soup quite often, but since I've learned how prevalent MSG is in these products, I seldom use them anymore which has CONSIDERABLY cut down on the number of casseroles I make!! This is a big help! Do you have a recipe for Cream of Chicken? Thanks!

    This recipe will definitely come in handy during the holidays. Over the past 9 months, I have started to change my lifestyle for the (much) better and was worried how I could make my famous green bean casserole without the canned version. This is a great starting point to help with that.

    Yum! I might try making this a little thicker and substituting in casseroles as well. I'm trying not to use so many processed canned goods. I have really just started eating mushrooms ( I still have to have them in tiny pieces!), but my boyfriend loves them, so might have to make him a batch of this.

    Hi Carrie, thank you so much for posting!! I am now truly missing most everything you make since the decision to go vegan about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I guess there is no way to make this vegan? I have been through SO many changes this year I'm not even sure what to eat now - in addition to going vegan, also going grain-free, so that's about the least amount of anything I CAN eat... ;-)

    Made this today with coconut milk instead of the heavy cream (and red Palm oil instead of butter). It's delicious! I had to use a bit more salt and pepper, and add some garlic to cover the coconut flavor but the finished soup is just as yummy as the dairy version.
