Make Cream of Mushroom Soup Dairy Free
This dairy free creamy of mushroom soup is a fantastic take on the classic without all the dairy. I’m all about making recipes plant-based and dairy free when I can. Dairy-free cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. You can achieve total richness and creaminess with some simple swaps. By building meals around vegan pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make healthier meals for you and your family.
I made a list of my 125 favorite vegan pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis, and check out all my vegan recipes here that are on The Herbeevore. These easy and healthy recipes are fantastic meatless and dairy free meals for your table.

I love shopping for fresh produce through Misfits Market – they sell groceries, healthy pantry staples, and fantastic food finds (even wine!) at a discounted price. Pick out your favorite seasonal produce, save up to 40% off grocery store prices & get it delivered to your door.
- Mushrooms – I used baby Bella mushrooms.
- Garlic
- Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
- Pink Himalayan Sea Salt: I like to use a pink Himalayan Sea Salt in my kitchen, which has more natural minerals than plain processed table salt. It’s fairly inexpensive, so I’d recommend this salt if you’re looking for an easy way to level up your spice pantry.
- Onions
- Herbes de Provence: my favorite spice blend! This French blend has a mix of rosemary, thyme, sage, and savory for a wonderful and complex flavor.
- Flour – I used regular all purpose flour for this recipe. To make it gluten free, mix 2 tablespoons of corn starch with 2 tablespoons of cold water, and add that mixture into the soup.
- Low Sodium Vegetable Stock – I like to use this low sodium vegetable stock for my recipes because it has great flavor… without all the salt. I always use low sodium or no-salt-added broth or stock to start, and then I can add salt or other spices later if needed. Check out more low sodium recipes here!
- Coconut Milk: I use unsweetened full-fat coconut milk, which I’d definitely recommend over lite coconut milk. The flavor makes this dish super rich and creamy without any dairy.
Comfort Food Soup Recipes for Everyone
This creamy coconut milk mushroom soup is the tastiest, coziest dinner meal. It’s perfect for a hearty meal for the family, and also great to make for company if you are having guests for dinner.
It makes a great holiday meal as well. The stove does most of the work, so you can enjoy hands-off time while you prep quick sides or a salad!
Mushroom Soup with Coconut Milk is a Family Favorite!
I’m adding this to my Favorites list – this gets a 10/10 on our homestead. I quote my husband (actual words here, people!) “This is 5-star restaurant good!” I’ve also had friends and family make this one and text me pics of how well it went. This is one of my most popular recipes, and with good reason! It’s great to eat on its own, or add into any holiday recipe.
This is one of those awesome recipes that I couldn’t actually believe is vegan. The sweet coconut broth and mushrooms together is an incredibly decadent combination. Its secretly healthy, but you can’t tell because the flavor is so dynamite!
How Do I Make This Mushroom Soup without Cream?
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the onion, garlic and sauté for 5 or 6 minutes until veggies become soft.
- Add the salt, Herbes de Provence , and mushrooms and sauté for about 10 minutes on low heat, covering the pot in between stirring.
- Stir in the flour, and mix well which will form a thick roux with the flour and the water released from the mushrooms.
- To the pot, add the vegetable stock, coconut milk, and simmer for an additional 15 minutes until the mushrooms are soft and cooked through.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with fresh thyme.

Good flavors
I made this soup twice, first as instructed, it was very good. It was good enough that I made it again. Last night I made again the change I made was I omitted the thyme and added some lemongrass stalks from my garden and some grated ginger (freeze the whole ginger and grate while frozen) and it was the preferred method. Todays leftovers were better than the night before. I will add this to my monthly rotations of soups this fall and winter. What I love most about this soup is not only is it delish but really quick and easy. Thank you for sharing. Butterfly kisses to Dozer 🦋🐕😘
Thank you so much Carolina Girl – the lemongrass and ginger idea is fantastic! I’ll have to try that next time 🙂

Hi, can I use almond flour instead?
Hello Julie,
I’d recommend using corn starch in place of regular flour. Corn starch will thicken the soup (which is the point of the flour) nicely. I haven’t tested this with almond flour, however I would be concerned with it becoming too gritty in the soup. Even a finely ground almond flour can have some grit. Either use corn starch or omit the flour all together. – Kelly
I use arrowroot powder to thicken and it works very well!
This was SO good! I am gluten free and used corn starch instead of flour. I also added some aged balsamic vinegar and white wine. Very good!
Thank you Mary, I am so glad you loved it! Fantastic idea to use white wine, I will have to try that next time I make this soup. – Kelly
Excellent soup, a new favorite.
I’m planning on making this. Just wondering if I can freeze s as my leftover soup?
Hello Faye – Yes, if you have leftovers you can freeze them for up to 3 months! Let me know how you enjoyed the recipe 🙂
how much does this coconut recipe yeild ?
The flavor was very good! I used coconut flour, and it didn’t quite make a roux… instead, it coated all of the mushrooms and never fully incorporated unfortunately, giving the soup a very grainy texture. Do you have a GF flour of choice?
I just now made the Cream of Mushroom soup with coconut milk, intending to use it in vegan green bean casserole. Oh my goodness!!! This soup is so delicious, I had to force myself to save enough for the casserole. I could just gobble it all down, as-is.
