Gluten Free Cream of Mushroom Soup
Did you put the can down yet? I want to revolutionize your life. Seriously, canned stuff isn’t good for you. It’s full of preservatives, MSG, and other junk that causes cancer* (not evaluated by the FDA), just my opinion.
You see, this delicious gluten free cream of mushroom soup only took a few minutes, plus it made my house smell better than Bath & Body Works.
So SKIP THE CAN and join me on a mushroom adventure! (only the legal ones though, mmkay?)
From green bean casserole, to soups, to savory entrees, this versatile gluten free cream of mushroom soup works wonders!
During the holidays, you can use this recipe (adding more liquid) to make a deliciously creamy gluten free and dairy free vegan gravy.

What You Need
For best results, melt the vegan butter with the spices. Then make the “roux”, constantly stirring in the gluten free flour (I used this kind) until it starts to bubble and resembles a thick paste (2-5 minutes). At this point, the white roux will be a light tan color, with the texture of wet sand. Next, make the vegetable broth by boiling the water and adding the vegetable bouillon cube (I use this brand), stirring until fully dissolved (or you can use bone broth if not vegan).
Add the mushrooms and saute until tender.
Pour the vegetable broth into the roux/mushroom mix and whisk until you have a smooth, thick sauce. It will take quite a bit of whisking for the lumps to dissolve, but just keep stirring and they will mix in eventually. If the soup is too thin, you can add up to 1 Tbsp of arrowroot powder (or tapioca flour). Bring to a simmer, and stir until the cream of vegan soup thickens, about 10-12 minutes.
If you’re not vegan and just need dairy free, use chicken broth or bone broth instead of vegetable broth and sub mushrooms for cooked chicken for a gluten free dairy free cream of chicken soup.
