This Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup is so nice to have any time of year.
I love this Farr Better Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup on its own to warm me up on a cool day or for something light and simple in the evening.
It’s fun to add this soup to many other dishes, making it a very popular recipe. For us, it’s a great hit when you include the Farr Better Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup at a “Mashed Potato Bar” theme party.
I like to use the cremini mushrooms (also referred to as cremino, common brown, and Roman), in this Farr Better Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe. These mushrooms are also commonly marketed as “Baby Bella” or “baby portobello” mushrooms because they are just that – a juvenile portobello mushroom. The mushrooms are dark brown and firmer than the common white button mushroom. From The Kitchn.
Please Remember:
Most importantly, eliminate or modify any ingredients to accommodate your dietary restrictions.

Add ingredients
into a large Non-Stick Saucepan
Step 1 Chop Mushrooms
5 cups cremini/baby bella mushrooms finely chopped
How to prepare mushrooms:
Most importantly, it’s a good idea to wash your mushrooms. Even though they are a part of the “Clean 15” list, it’s a good idea to always wash your produce. While they are a part of the produce with the lowest levels of pesticide residue, it’s always a good practice to wash your produce.
Nearly 70 percent of the fresh produce sold in the U.S. contains residues of potentially harmful chemical pesticides, according to EWG’s analysis.
Dirty Dozen List
Clean 15 List
1. Again, it’s very important to wash them thoroughly with Earth’s Natural Fruit & Vegetable Wash to clean 95% or more of the chemicals and toxins off your produce.
Above all, this is my ♥favorite veggie wash and has my stamp of approval. Click the photo or the link to order yours today. I just did. It’s a great gift-giving idea.
Furthermore, it must be amazing if Twin Cities Live shared it with everyone!
2. Chop the mushrooms by hand with a knife
To speed up the process, the 2nd option is to use a Food Processor or Mini Hand Chopper.
Above all, chop mushrooms to the desired texture you want in the Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup. Set aside for a moment.
Step 2 Sautè the next three ingredients on high heat in a large Non-Stick Saucepan
1 cup vegetable broth
You can make homemade vegetable broth or purchase it. However, I recommend low sodium broth’s because they are much better for our health.
1/2 cup chopped onions
My favorite ♥ ‘no tear’ tool to use is the Hand-Powered Food Chopper
In addition, see these wonderful quick and easy tools to use for chopping onions; the Food Chop Vegetable Dicer and the Mini Hand Chopper.
2 tbsp minced garlic cloves
My favorite ♥ ‘quick and easy’ tool to use is the Garlic Twister
Similarily, find other Garlic Press and Micer’s at my Fun and Easy Kitchen Equipment page.
Finally, stir these ingredients frequently for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Step 3 Cook Mushrooms
Add the 5 cups of mushrooms in the saucepan and stir.
Stir in 1 tbsp coconut aminos
While cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes, stir until mushrooms become soft.
Step 4 Add remaining ingredients
All things considered, the allergy-friendly ingredients I posted above may vary depending on which brand you choose to accommodate your dietary needs.
1 container dairy-free cream cheese (about 7-8 oz)
1 cup Farr Better Sour Cream or purchase dairy-free sour cream
1 cup coconut cream
FBR Ideas:
You can purchase dairy free-coconut cream, or purchase coconut milk and just use the solid part that rises to the top. By chilling it overnight, without tipping the can, open it and scoop out the solid cream on the top. As a result, here is your coconut cream.
Sometimes we shake the coconut milk and use all of it for a recipe and sometimes we really want the thick cream part. Hence, you decide what you like best in these recipes. I enjoy giving you some freedom to choose.
1/8 cup tapioca flour/starch

For example
Are tapioca flour and tapioca starch the same? Also, see what it is best used for and how it’s made, etc… Fascinating.
2 tbsp FBR Delightful Aromatic Italian Seasoning Blend
However, if you don’t have this one on hand you can just use an Italian Seasoning Blend. Ultimately, I have found this one to be the most flavorful for Farr Better Recipes®.
1 tbsp Farr Better No-Salt Seasoning
However, if you don’t have this one on hand you can use any allergy-safe no-salt seasoning.
1 tbsp Dried Chopped Onion Flakes
As long as the dried onion flakes are added to a soup, they will rehydrate while cooking.
1 tbsp dry sherry
Need to know:
Sherry is also used for cooking, especially soups, stews, and even desserts. However, what you get as cooking sherry is different from the regular version that is used for drinking.
It is always better to use regular sherry, as cooking sherry has salt and other additives. Unlike regular sherry, cooking sherry is not suitable for drinking.
If you want to prepare a recipe that calls for sherry, follow the measurements strictly, or else use it in moderation.
In conclusion, if sherry is not available, you may go for its substitutes.

1 tsp ground white pepper

Bring the soup to a boil and stir until thickened for an additional 2 minutes. Meanwhile, use a whisk to combine it together nicely.
After that, reduce the heat to a low simmer, and cook uncovered for about 10 additional minutes. Stir occasionally until it becomes thick and creamy.
Above all, enjoy
