- Hi friends, it's Sam, and today I'm gonna show you
how to make my vegan cream of mushroom soup.
So dreamy, creamy, luscious, rich, fabulous tasting.
Everyone's gonna think you worked long and hard
making this recipe from scratch, but I've got a secret.
Not only is it super easy to make
but it only takes 20 minutes.
I know, for real.
One of the longest parts of this recipe
is just slicing up the mushrooms,
which if you want to, you could just buy
the pre-sliced mushrooms and then this is even easier.
So easy peasy weezy sneezey.
Ah, I can't speak today I don't think.
Now this recipe is right up my alley.
If this is your first time on my channel,
I love making vegan food easy to make, quick, delicious,
and using easy to find ingredients
that you can get at your local grocery store.
So if that's your kinda thing
maybe you can consider subscribing.
Alright, so let's get to making
my vegan cream of mushroom soup.
So first things first I just wanna prep my ingredients.
I've got one yellow onion, three cloves of garlic,
and 16 ounces of mushrooms.
Fall out, ah.
Today I'm using brown mushrooms
but you're welcome to use the white ones as well.
Doesn't matter.
You could even use a mix of different types of mushrooms
which could be really yummy and fancy tasting
but I just got some good old basic browns today.
So I'm just gonna slice this all up.
Mushroom goodness, yeah,
Alright, everything is all nicely chopped up
so let's hop over to the stove
and start cooking up this mushroom soup, yes.
So put a nice soup pot over the heat on the stove.
I've got like a medium high heat.
And then add two tablespoons of vegan butter.
Now I know I'm gonna get this question.
Can you use oil instead of the vegan butter?
Yes, yes you can, but it's not gonna be as good.
There's something about vegan butter and mushrooms
combined together, just is, it's just delicious.
So if you have vegan butter I highly recommend that.
It is my preference every time.
Grab myself a spoon.
Now to the butter I'm gonna add all of this goodness.
So the onions, garlic, and all of the mushrooms,
which are gonna go everywhere aren't they?
Ah, every time, I can never get things in the pot.
Yes.
I lost one.
He's a gonner.
Alright, he's gone.
He's not coming back.
So this is like a whole lot of mushrooms
but it will cook down.
Mushrooms are mostly water.
So what you wanna do is just cook this
for about eight to 10 minutes I'm gonna say,
until the mushrooms have softened and browned
and are all nice and juicy and delicious.
So my mushrooms have reduced.
They're darkened, they're browned, they're juicy.
They smell oh so good.
It's making me so hungry.
I love mushrooms.
If you love mushrooms type in the comments hayoooo.
Why?
I don't know.
If you don't love mushrooms,
I don't know why you're watching this video.
So for those mushroom lovers
let's finish making this recipe.
What am I talking about?
Okay, so now to thicken the soup a little bit
add a quarter cup of all purpose flour.
Just sprinkle that right over the mushrooms
and stir that in to coat the mushrooms.
I use an all purpose flour but you can
alternatively use a whole wheat flour
or a gluten free all purpose flour.
Anything that thickens should work fine here.
So just cook this for about one minute
and now we get to add all the remaining ingredients.
So four cups or one liter of vegetable broth.
Beautiful.
One and a half cups of full fat coconut milk.
The coconut milk is gonna add richness and creaminess,
which of course is what we want
in a cream of mushroom soup.
And I know everyone's gonna ask
do you taste the coconut milk and the answer is yes
and it is so good.
Coconut milk is one of my favorite combinations
with mushrooms.
I've used it in a lot of different recipes.
I think it's delicious.
And yeah, it just makes the soup,
it just takes it up to the next level, delish.
If you're not a coconut milk fan
you can use my heavenly heavy cream recipe
which is found in my cookbooK, Fuss Free Vegan.
So to this we're gonna add one teaspoon
of dried thyme leafs, half a teaspoon of black pepper,
half a teaspoon of salt,
and a quarter teaspoon of nutmeg,
which is just gonna add a little extra, delish.
So just mix that in and use your spoon
to scrape any little bits off of the bottom of the pot.
That's where a lot of the flavor is
so you wanna make sure to incorporate that into the soup
and ooh la la.
My soup has been cooking for about five minutes now,
which just allows the flour to thicken the soup
ever so slightly, making it so creamy dreamy delicious.
So now it's ready to serve just like that.
How easy was that?
So I'm gonna serve myself up a bowl
and I'll meet you back over there
and we'll give it a taste test, yes.
Alright, woo, hot.
I got myself a big gorgeous bowl
of this cream of mushroom soup.
I'm so excited.
Okay, standing and eating soup, always weird.
So steamy dreamy.
Mmm, oh yeah, gorgeous.
That is delicious.
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm.
Really hot.
My mouth is being annihilated, melting from the inside.
Mmm, delish.
That is just so good.
It's so amazing that you can get so much flavor
in just 20 minutes with this recipe.
It's creamy and luscious.
The earthiness of the mushrooms is amazing
paired with that thyme.
And trust me, that coconut flavor, so good.
This is just a perfect soup for a lazy night.
Serve it with some crusty bread.
Or you can make this ahead of time
and pack it up to take to work
and everyone will be jealous of you.
So yummy.

(chicken clucking)
Just waiting for the dishwasher
to stop making so much noise so I can talk to you.
I turned it off.
I pressed the power button.
Are we good?
I think we're good, okay.
Most boring video footage ever.
