Dairy Free Cream of Mushroom and Vegetables Soup
This is a mushroom soup recipe that you can easily make during these quarantined days when you may not be getting the amount of vitamin D that you should. Homemade Dairy-Free Cream of Mushroom and Vegetable Soup is creamy, smokey, and rich, made with fresh mushrooms, veggies, herbs, spices, and cashew nuts. This cream of mushroom soup is the ultimate comfort food that won’t make you bloated and will leave you satisfied for hours.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS MUSHROOM SOUP:
I like that the ingredients are easily found at most grocery stores and that the ingredients don’t include all-purpose flour or soy milk like a lot of other mushrooms soup recipes that I have been seeing. This soup can also be easily adjusted to your diet preference, even turned into a vegan cream-of-mushroom soup if you want to, which makes it a great recipe for all.
