🧾 Ingredients and substitutions
- Mushrooms - white button mushrooms, crimini, or even portabella will all work well.
- Oil - any neutral-flavored cooking oil will work well.
- Salt - for flavor. Feel free to decrease for a low sodium option.
- Garlic Powder - for flavor. You can use a clove of fresh garlic instead if you want.
- Paprika - for flavor.
- Black Pepper - for flavor.
- Plant-Based Milk - for creaminess. Any plain flavored vegan milk like oat milk, soy milk, Ripple, or cashew milk will all work well.
- Starch - to thicken the soup. You can use potato starch, corn starch, or even white flour dissolved in water.
🥄 Instructions
- Wash and dice mushrooms then saute them in 1 tablespoon of oil.
- Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and saute for about 5 minutes, then add the garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and plant-based milk.
- In a separate container, mix together the starch and water and then add it to the mushroom mixture.
- Stir continuously over medium heat until it bubbles and becomes thick.
- Use it as you would a can of cream of mushroom condensed soup.
👩🏻🍳 Pro tips
