Whole30 Cream of Mushroom Soup

During the cold months of winter, a bowl of warm soup is guaranteed to brighten even the darkest of days. While I love a chunky soup like minestrone, I don’t think there is anything better than a creamy mushroom soup to warm you from the inside out on a cold day. Since the age of 4 I have tasted an endless array of mushroom soups and I have to admit, there have been a lot more bad than good.

The bad includes anything that is too watery, lacking flavour or containing lumps of black bits that slightly resemble mushrooms. The good? The good is summarized perfectly in this Whole30 Cream of Mushroom Soup. Its hearty, creamy and full of earthy mushroom flavour. Oh and did I mention it’s completely dairy free and vegan? True story.

Whole30 Cream of Mushroom Soup

If you prefer your mushroom soup on the chunkier side simply blend it for just 3-4 seconds until the mushrooms reach your desired size. I’ve only used button mushrooms in this recipe, but feel free to add any mushrooms you prefer such as portobello, oyster, shitake, chanterelle or cremini (just try to avoid the magic ones).


I used my favourite vegetable to make this soup creamy, cauliflower! I love how using pureed cauliflower in soups instead of coconut cream or cashew cream which both seriously up the calorie content. After blending everything together the mixture becomes quite thick, so you may need to add more than the 2-3 cups of vegetable stock listed below depending on how thick you like your soup. I hope you enjoy!
