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. 

Garnish

1. Serve soup with a cheese toastie. Garnish with black pepper, cayenne pepper, fresh thyme, and a drizzle of Trader Joe’s Herbes de Provence oil. Enjoy with a cheese toastie on the side.

      Hi Jinal. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Really appreciate your sweet comment. Yes, almond flour replaces white flour so easily and makes it gluten-free. Thanks so much.

    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. 🙂

PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's an Indo-Fusion dish you will love! I made a delicious marinade for the paneer and sauteed it along with the veggies. Assemble your whole wheat quesadillas and cook until the cheese has melted. The best part about this dish is my "special taco sauce" which complements these quesadillas perfectly. ⁠

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove

Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to H Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to Hawaii safe and sound, and Krish was pretty good on the plane. It’s my first time in Hawaii and I’m loving Waikiki… the beach, food, window shopping, and city life. I love being able to walk everywhere. It’s the perfect amount of action and relaxation for me. This is totally my kinda vacation 😎!  Krish has been loving all the people-watching… something he doesn’t do much of back home. He’s been flexible and has pretty much adjusted to our schedule. Thank you 🙏🏼 guys for all the food recommendations (Duke’s Hula Pie) and tips on traveling with a toddler. I can’t thank you all enough. ❤️ #myworld
