Gluten-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup
4 servings
This gluten-free cream of mushroom soup is savory, flavorful and makes the perfect base for a range of recipes. One batch of this recipe is equal to one can of condensed soup.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter or vegan butter
- 1 shallot finely chopped
- 8 ounces white button mushrooms finely chopped
- 3/4 cup chicken stock or broth
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of paprika
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, add the butter, shallot and mushrooms. Cook over medium heat for 7-9 minutes until the mushrooms are softened and have released most of their liquid.
- In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the milk and cornstarch until smooth.
- Pour the chicken stock and all the spices into the saucepan. Bring to a simmer.
- While whisking vigorously, slowly pour in the milk/cornstarch mixture into the simmering stock, stirring constantly.
- Continue to stir and cook until the mixture bubbles and thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and season to taste with more salt and pepper (I usually add a pinch more of each!). Use immediately in a recipe or cool and refrigerate for up to a week.
Notes
Recipe note: One batch of this easy gluten-free cream of chicken soup recipe is equal to one can of condensed soup. Feel free to double the recipe as needed!
Dairy-Free/Vegan: Use unsweetened almond milk or cashew milk, instead of whole milk. I don't recommend vanilla-flavored milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. Also, use vegetable broth in place of the chicken stock to make it vegan.
Make-Ahead: This soup can be made up to 1 week in advance when stored properly.
To Store: Allow the soup to cool to room temperature, then store in a Mason jar or airtight container for up to 7 days.
