A delicious dairy free fat Creamy Mushroom Soup that is packed with flavour.
This time of year I love soups, there is nothing like a bowl of warm comforting soup on a cold winter's day, especially in Canada when some days in the winter can be -20 and I don't even want to leave the house.
I love using coconut milk, it adds a creamy kind of sweetness to dishes and is great in soups like this Creamy Mushroom Soup.
Sometimes I like to add some protein to the top of this. Shredded cooked chicken is great or even my hidden vegetable beef meatballs
As well as being dairy free, this Creamy Mushroom Soup is also gluten free, paleo and Whole30 friendly.

I have lots of standard mushrooms I need to use up. Would this work ok do you think or be a bit bland in comparison to the more exotic mushroom selection?
Shevy (Slimming Eats) says
you will get more flavour from the mix of mushrooms, but regular should work okay too. Let me know how it turns out 🙂
DeniseK says
I've tried this recipe twice now , both very tasty. First time with normal button mushrooms and second time with small portabella mushrooms (which ever were on special offer).
A mix of mushrooms would be tastier but if your on a budget like me any will do.

Alison Hesketh says
Is it ok to freeze this soup ?
Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says
yep it sure is - enjoy!!
Karen says
do you think this recipe would work if you swapped the coconut milk for fat free yogurt
Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says
the yoghurt has a tendency to split, so I wouldn't swap it out unless you are just spooning on the top when serving.
Annie says
OMG!!! I struggle to find a nice mushroom soup. This is amazing, It’s better than I’ve had in a restaurant. I used two packs of speciality mushroom mix & a handful of normal ones. This is absolutely delicious. Yum yum
Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says
