A delicious dairy free low syn 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?
you will get more flavour from the mix of mushrooms, but regular should work okay too. Let me know how it turns out 🙂
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.
Made this soup yesterday,,and so far it is definitely up there with my favourites,so tasty and creamy
Is it ok to freeze this soup ?
yep it sure is - enjoy!!
do you think this recipe would work if you swapped the coconut milk for fat free yogurt
the yoghurt has a tendency to split, so I wouldn't swap it out unless you are just spooning on the top when serving.
