    I love mushrooms. My husband hates mushrooms. I make them anyway. The earthy flavor of mushrooms are so comforting. They're perfect in soups, especially on those cold winter nights.
    Creamy Mushroom Soup (healthy, gluten-free, paleo option, vegan option)

    I wanted to make a creamy and healthy mushroom soup, but without cream or milk. Instead of dairy, I blended soaked cashews with low-sodium vegetable broth and the end result is a creamy soup.

    This soup is flavored with garlic, fresh thyme, tamari, cayenne pepper, and a drizzle of Trader Joe's Herbes de Provence which adds depths of flavor.

    Make this delicious Creamy Mushroom Soup on a Friday night with a cheese toastie on the side. Get into your PJs and turn on a Christmas movie. Enjoy!

    how to make creamy mushroom soup step by step?

    Prep

    1. Soak cashews in boiling hot water for about 15-30 minutes, or more.
    2. Using a wet paper towel, clean the mushrooms.
    3. Thinly slice the mushrooms.
    4. Chop the garlic, onions, and slice a green chili in half.

    Cook the Soup

    1. Heat up a dutch enameled castiron on medium heat, once hot, add butter and oil.
    2. Add the green chili, garlic, and onions. Saute for 3 minutes until the onions soften.
    3. Add the mushrooms, season with a little salt, and cook for about 7 minutes. The mushrooms will release some water.
    4. While the mushrooms cook, prepare the cashew broth by blending 2 cups of vegetable broth with the drained cashews using a NutriBullet.

    5. At this time, add the almond flour. Alternatively, you can use gluten-free flour. Cook for about 1 minute.
    6. Pour the prepared 2 cups of cashew broth over the mushrooms, plus 2 cups of remaining vegetable broth.
    7. Add gluten-free tamari.
    8. Also add fresh thyme, black pepper, and season with salt to taste. Stir well.

    9. Cover with a lid. Cook the soup on low-medium heat for roughly 10 minutes.
    10. You are done.

      Hi Nisha, this recipe was so easy to make! I LOVE the fact that it was hearty and dairy free. I accidentally got half the amount of mushrooms and it was it still super filling. 🙂
