Cream of Mushroom Soup with Vegetables
Make a step-by-step cream of mushroom soup with vegetables that is creamy, filling, and satisfying. Made all in one pot.
Creamy mushroom soup is a delicious treat perfect for the cold days. White button mushrooms floating in the tasty vegetable broth with fresh rosemary flavors makes this amazing soup a dream. A dream come true, that is!
Most of my readers know I’m a huge soup lover. I’ve tried so many soup recipes, I can make soup endlessly! This cream of mushroom soup recipe is unique, however. The ingredients don’t replicate a regular cream of mushroom soup!
We can find cream of mushroom on the shelves of grocery stores. A common ingredient in green bean casseroles, beef stroganoff recipes, and dips. The ingredients in those cans aren’t good for our health, so this recipe leaves it out!
Instead, we use real mushroom powder, fresh mushrooms, heavy cream, and all-purpose flour. Even my beef stroganoff recipe uses the best ingredients available to us, and it’s so easy to make!
So don’t skip out on this mushroom soup recipe. Load your soup pots with spices, fresh herbs, and even fresher veggies. There’s no alternative to good health, benefits from fresh ingredients, and an amazing soup experience.

Expert Tips:
- Feel free to use a mix of mushrooms. Cremini mushrooms and button mushrooms make the best varieties for this creamy soup. Save the portobello mushrooms for Mushroom Pizza!
- For a vegetarian alternative, make a homemade vegetable stock for this soup. If using store-bought broth, opt for low-sodium varieties to have better control over the soup’s saltiness.
- Taste the soup as you season and adjust gradually to avoid over-salting; mushrooms absorb flavors over time.
- Substitute the all-purpose flour for a gluten free flour alternative to make this soup gluten free!
Recipe FAQs
You are probably familiar with the canned cream of mushroom, made up of cream and mushrooms (or mushroom broth). This mushroom soup recipe contains much more flavor and added vegetables.
Yes, you can blend any soup, but I prefer this version of mushroom soup chunky because of all the added vegetables. If you choose to blend this soup, make sure you allow it to cool first so your blender doesn’t explode. If you love blended soups, you should try my comfort pea soup recipe or this light tomato soup!
You sure can! Swap out the heavy cream for coconut cream. You’ll get a slight coconut flavor, but I personally think that’s a nice addition that complements these ingredients.
