Dairy-Free Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
A gluten-free and dairy-free rendition of condensed cream of mushroom soup, which you can use to replace the canned version!
Servings: 2 1/2 cups
Calories: 484kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 small yellow onion finely chopped
- 8 ounces mushrooms chopped
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 15-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar*
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg optional
- 1 Tbsp gluten-free AP flour or tapioca flour*
- 1/2 tsp sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Stir in the mushrooms and garlic and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have leached out much of their water, about 8 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Pour in the canned coconut milk, dried oregano, nutmeg, and sea salt and stir well. Bring the mixture to a full boil, then add the flour and whisk well.
- Continue cooking and whisking, leaving the mixture at a full boil, until it thickens to the same consistency as a very creamy soup, about 10 to 15 minutes. If needed, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of additional gluten-free flour if the soup isn't becoming thick enough.
- Remove the cream of mushroom soup from the heat and set aside to allow it to cool.
- Once cool, either use the soup in a recipe, or transfer it to a jar. Seal and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Notes
*For thicker consistency, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of additional gluten-free flour to the soup while it is cooking. To make the recipe paleo and whole30 (grain-free), use tapioca flour or arrowroot flour.
Do note that the cream of mushroom soup becomes thicker as it sits. For most recipes calling for a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup, you will want the mixture to be very thick.
