Rich, creamy, and delicious, homemade gluten-free cream of mushroom soup is the perfect replacement for the canned version. It’s quick and easy to make and will become a new staple in your home!
Cream of mushroom soup is delicious on it’s own, however, it’s most often used to give other dishes a rich, creamy flavor. Green bean casserole, beef stroganoff, and so many other dishes just aren’t the same without it!
Green bean casserole has always been my husband’s favorite holiday dish, but since he cut out gluten and processed ingredients, he hasn’t been able to enjoy it for years. This year I decided to recreate the casserole with healthy, gluten-free ingredients, and this delicious gluten-free cream of mushroom soup was the first step!
However, it’s so delicious it might just get eaten as soup before it makes it into the green bean casserole…

Ingredients for Gluten-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup
Coconut oil – You can substitute butter if you prefer.
Mushrooms – I used baby portobello, but you could use pretty much any type of mushrooms for this recipe.
Broth – Homemade bone broth is my favorite, but you could use chicken broth instead.
Onion – In a pinch, you could substitute 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, but an actual onion is so much better.
Garlic clove – You could use 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder instead, but the flavor of fresh garlic is best.
Heavy cream – This is what makes this so rich and delicious! While you can substitute coconut cream, it won’t be the same as using dairy cream.
Oat flour – If you need this recipe to be gluten free, make sure to use gluten-free oat flour. You can buy it or make your own.
Salt – Sea salt or Himalayan
Pepper – Use quality pepper without additives for the best flavor. Mountain Rose Herbs is my favorite affordable source for organic, premium spices.
How to Make Gluten-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup
First, heat the coconut oil in a large skillet on medium high heat.
While it’s heating, finely chop the mushrooms and dice the onion.
Once the pan is hot, add the chopped mushrooms and diced onions and sauté until they’re soft, about 8 minutes.
Using the garlic press, press the garlic into the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant. If you don’t have a garlic press, simply mince the garlic with a knife.
Then turn the skillet down to low and add the cream, broth, and flour, and quickly whisk to combine.
Bring the ingredients to a slow simmer and continue to cook for 5 minutes on low heat whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste. Since this is a condensed soup, you may want to make it slightly saltier than you usually would.
Now you can enjoy homemade gluten-free cream of mushroom soup by itself or in all of your favorite recipes!
