One-Pot Creamy Mushroom Soup (Vegan)

One-Pot Creamy Mushroom Soup (Vegan)

Hey there! Today’s One-Pot Creamy Mushroom Soup recipe is a comforting warm bowl of deliciousness that’s lovely to enjoy on a cold day or evening.

This soup features hearty slices of fresh brown cremini mushrooms (aka crimini, baby bella, or baby portobello), which are a more mature, firm, and flavourful version of white mushrooms.

The umami notes of mushrooms are matched with sweet sautéed onions and heightened with select aromatic dried herbs and salty-sweet soy sauce.

It’s all mixed together with vegetable broth and coconut milk (you won’t taste coconut), which gives the soup a creamy texture and keeps it vegan. You won’t miss the heavy cream.

Serve this quick made-from-scratch mushroom soup as a starter, light meal, or side dish.

I hope you enjoy this recipe!

How do you make this comforting mushroom soup?

(Full ingredient amounts and instructions available in the recipe card down below).

Sauté onions in olive oil until the onions are softened and golden-brown (first photo). Then, add in mushrooms, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper (second photo).

Occasionally stir the ingredients together to allow the mushroom juices to release and evaporate (first photo).

Stir in the coconut milk, vegetable broth, soy sauce, and cornstarch slurry. Bring the soup to a boil before reducing to a simmer. Let it cook for 15 minutes. Stir in parsley (optional) and season with additional salt and pepper to taste (second photo).

Scoop into bowls and enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp dried rosemary, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan at medium-high heat, add olive oil and onions. Sauté until onions soften and take on a golden colour, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add in the mushrooms, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper. Occasionally stir to allow the mushroom juices to release and evaporate, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour in the coconut milk, vegetable broth, and soy sauce. In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until it dissolves and then add it to the soup. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients together.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil before reducing it to a simmer and allowing it to cook for another 15 minutes.
  5. Stir in parsley and season with additional salt and pepper if you like. Best served immediately or warm.

You can taste the coconut imo but it's very nice. It mostly just tastes creamy with a little coconut but its not a bad thing

This really looks lovely, and perfect for fall. But coconut milk? This really took me by surprise. What about just cream or evaporated milk? I’m working hard to think what coconut and mushrooms taste like together!!!
