Start the week with a bowl of this Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup.💛🌱
It’s so creamy, velvety and luxurious, with lots of mushroom chunks! Plus, it’s a vegan, 1-pot recipe, and so easy to make.
Growing up, my favourite lunch was Campbells Mushroom Soup (yeah, the canned one), and I used to make my mum scoop all the mushroom chunks into my bowl! I thought it was bliss. So, I’ve made sure that this homemade vegan version is mushroom loaded!!
It’s exactly what you’d hope for in a creamy mushroom soup recipe (and 1000x better than the canned kind! haha). We absolutely love it!
