This Vegan Cream of Mushroom soup is creamy and delicious. Ready within 30 minutes. Vegan, gluten-free , oil-free recipe.
Since the kitchen has decided to not like my presence much, I decided to open up the blog to some guest posts and introduce you to some amazing friends and bloggers. All special and awesome!
Starting off the first Wednesday Guest post with Somer.
Where should I begin.. Somer has been busy being her super woman self.. being featured on Forks over Knives(testimonial), co-hosting VVP, being an amazing mom, whipping up delicious, healthy and easy vegan fare, a Kick ass blogger, and a very sweet and beautiful person. I found her blog via Kristy and have been hooked since.:)
I mean look at the ridiculous Macadamia Nut Brie en Croute(pictured below.. I had to feature that picture Somer), and these Black bean burgers with the prettiest pretzel buns and more and more.
Give it up for Somer at Vedget Out!
You can also find her on Facebook and Pinterest. Drop by and say hi:)..
I’d like to think if I was able to go to Richa’s house and bring her some lunch, that I’d bring her a big bowl of this soup. Feel better soon girl.

Thank you for the guest post Somer! This soup is being shared at Allergy Free Wednesdays, Rickis wellness weekend

I love, love, love this recipe and was wondering how would you adapt it to an instant pot? Would you reduce the liquid? Some IP recipes for mushroom soup say 5 min, others 10. Any ideas?
Vegan Richa Support
Thank you! I recommend 3 minutes on high pressure.
May Park
If I use instant pot should I do 3 minutes on High pressure for this?
Vegan Richa Support
yes

I have made this soup a couple of times now and am just absolutely loving the taste. It’s a simple recipe and you can’t go wrong with it. Thanks for posting this. It’s one of my go to soups for winter. We eat this soup with Afghan bread. Yum!
Rachel
Just made the soup (with a slight change)and it is fabulous.

This soup was delish !! I did not have sherry and vegetable broth. And I cannot believe that soup came out still so good without these 2 ingredients. Thanks for sharing recipes. I am pinning tons of recipes and trying too from your web.
eattohisglory
This looks fantastic, I cant wait to try it. And with winter upon us in South Africa, no more of a perfect time than now!
Mushrooms Canada

I LOVE Somer too- she is the greatest! This soup is my kind of comfort food, simple, creamy and comfy cozy – what a great start to the Guest Post Roulette Richa!
Kristy
Is there anything better than Mushroom Soup? Ok, I know Richa can probably think of a million things better, but seriously, it’s one of my favorites! And I love this version from one of my favorite bloogers! 🙂
Aimee
Do you have any suggestions on how to make this cream of chicken? What does the nutritional yeast do? I do not have any so could I leave out? I am not vegan so could I sub w/ something else?

Somer is the best! She has such a big heart and generous spirit. Plus, I just love seeing what’s coming up in her kitchen. This cream of mushroom soup sounds lovely!

Looks fantastic ladies! I think it’s even funnier that Richa is not a mushroom gal. Love it. I, however adore them and need to use them more – this looks amazing Somer!

It was one of those foot in your mouth moments Shira. Ah well, Richa says she likes them in small amounts and she’s going to give it a go over the weekend. Hopefully she won’t gag 😉
Richa

Just made this soup!!!! It’s perfect. I questioned the cashews, but stuck to the recipe. Even my meat lovin’ husband did not suspect I traded healthy nuts for half and half. Everybody loved it. I would not change a thing.
Sharanya
Love the recipe,any alternatives to cashew, my vegan kid loves shrooms but has nut allergies and yes, both you ladies rock!!
Feel better soon ,Richa

You could try silken tofu and increase the nutritional yeast a bit, or try soy creamer…. 🙂
Richa
tofu, coconut cream, some cornstarch to thicken it if you like it thicker..:)
vedgedout.com
Oh, of course! Coconut cream would be lovely.
