Did you know there is such a thing as Gluten Free Cream of Mushroom Soup, that’s vegan too? If you thought you’d never be able to enjoy creamy soup again, you’re in for a treat. You won’t believe the secret ingredient that gives this soup it’s creamy texture! It’s way healthier than any of those canned soups and it tastes better too.
Gluten Free Cream of Mushroom Soup
This recipe uses a blender, so please check out the Blendtec Blender. It is the Cat’s Meow when it comes to blenders and has a full 7 year warranty even on refurbished models which are very affordable!
Can you believe a healthy ingredient like cauliflower makes an incredibly tasty cream soup? You can enjoy as much of this soup as you like without any of the fat and sodium in traditional cream soups.
Health Benefits of Cauliflower:
- Cauliflower is a member of the cancer-fighting cruciferous family of vegetables
- Cauliflower is anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich, and may boost both your heart and brain health
- Eating cauliflower will provide your body with impressive amounts of vitamin C, vitamin k, beta-carotene, and much more while supporting healthy digestion and detoxification
Mercola gives the Health Benefits of Mushrooms:
- Mushrooms contain some of the most powerful natural medicines on the planet. About 100 species are being studied for their health-promoting benefits, and about a half dozen really stand out for their ability to deliver a tremendous boost to your immune system
- Nine recently presented studies on mushrooms detail a wide variety of health benefits, including: improved weight management, improved nutrition, increased vitamin D levels, and improved immune system function
- One of the active medicinal compounds in a mushroom called Cordyceps has an identified potential cancer drug in it. More recent studies suggest it also has potent anti-inflammatory characteristics that may be helpful for those suffering from: asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, renal failure, and stroke damage
- It’s important to eat ONLY organically grown mushrooms because they absorb and concentrate whatever they grow in. Mushrooms are known to concentrate heavy metals, as well as air and water pollutants, so healthy growing conditions is a critical factor
- Mushrooms that can help boost the nutrient content of your diet include ( most of which I have never heard of ): shiitake, reishi, cordyceps, turkey tail, and Himematsutake

Have you tried making this soup with unsweetened Cashew milk? Very creamy!
Thanks Cindy for the suggestion. We have just recently gotten Cashew milk in the stores here…will try it.
I’ve been sampling vegan foods at whole foods and love them. This soup sounds delish I’d like to try it!
That’s what I miss about living in Alaska. We don’t have whole foods or even any specialty stores to sample vegan or other foods! Lucky you.

Barrie, I didn’t know there were dairy free Cream of Mushroom Soups canned that you could buy! If there is let me know..Many then are not gluten free either. This recipe is for those who need dairy-free and gluten-free help.

Had to pin this, GREAT vegan recipe. I’m going to make it for a dear friend in the near future, I think.
Thanks for pinning this Crystal!
This looks like a very delicious healthy soup that I would love to make. I think it is easy to make and so good for me to make, instead of having salty canned soup.
Thank you! Before I became vegan cream of mushroom soup was my favorite years ago. I’m not a very good cook so I don’t search out many recipes and I never thought I’d see vegan cream soups. I can’t wait to make this, it’s cold and rainy- perfect soup weather.
Thanks Raine…I also love it cause I like to bake with a creamy base. Now I can make a green bean casserole with a dairy free cream of mushroom soup!
Oh wow this sounds amazing and thank you for sharing…pinning for later….
Thanks so much for pinning it Shannon!

I can’t wait to make this! It looks so yummy & we love mushroom soup!
Thaat sounds like a great recipe for those who are vegan, gluten-free or just anyone.The processed soups sold in cans are absolutely horrible! Even the ones that seem to be vegetarian are not example:Campbell’s
I so agree with you about the processed soups Athena. I am trying to go as processed free as possible.
This looks so great. I saved it.
ThIs food looks yummy and easy make
as a child i loved cream of mushroom, however, i dont eat many creamed soups anymore b/c of the calories. creamed soups are so soothing. great for when you are sick. however, i do like that you added some veggies to your soup, which i really like.
Thanks Sandy! I try to keep it as healthy as I can 🙂
Mmmm!! Cream of mushroom is one of my all time favs! This sounds amazing!! Thank you for a gf option I know my whole family can enjoy!!
