It’s easy to prepare, doesn’t have the junk ingredients of the canned stuff, and is Keto and allergy-friendly! I’m talkin to you, Keto Green Bean Casserole, lol!
Easy Keto Cream Of Mushroom Soup Steps
Start by cooking an onion, some garlic, and an 8 oz. package of sliced mushrooms in some butter or oil until nice and tender.
After that, stir in 1/2 Cup of full-fat canned coconut milk (don’t skip the full-fat, you need it to make it nice and creamy), 3/4 cup chicken broth, thyme, salt, and pepper and let it bubble a bit.
To Thicken The Soup
To thicken the soup, just transfer to a blender and blend until smooth and it will thicken up nicely. If you would like a little bit of texture, simply reserve some of the mushrooms and stir them in after blending.
Another way to thicken the soup is by mixing 3 Tbsp. of tapioca flour with 3 Tbsp. of cold water. Then, pour the slurry into the boiling soup and stir until thickened – about 1 or 2 minutes.
It thickens nicely and works well, but has added carbs and starch so I prefer the blended method.
If you do use this method, steer clear of arrowroot because it loses it’s thickening power under prolonged heat so it will not work well if you’re using the recipe for a casserole.
Also, you may want to cut or break up your mushrooms a bit more.

Expert Tips
- This recipe is equal to 1 10.5 oz can of condensed cream of mushroom soup and can use in any recipe calling for cream of mushroom soup.
- For the coconut cream, I recommend using Thai Kitchen, Sprouts, or Thai Kitchen brands. While other brands will work, some have an aftertaste and these are three brands I know have a neutral flavor.
- I don’t recommend keeping the coconut cream in the fridge for this recipe. If the coconut cream is cold, it will separate and be hard to stir.
- While technically any non-dairy milk will work, I highly recommend the full-fat canned coconut milk because it makes it rich and creamy.
- If eating as soup and not used in place of a can of soup in a recipe, you will need to thin it out with broth to the desired consistency.
This recipe goes perfect in my Keto & Whole30 Green Bean Casserole With Bacon!!!

Thanks for posting this recipe – it will make converting some family favorites to a paleo version much easier! I live in Hot Dish Land, so almost every recipe calls for condensed cream of mushroom soup.
Could you make this in a few batches and freeze it so you have it for a quick addition to a meal rather than making it every time?
Hi JaineS!
While I think you could, I just couldn’t say for sure because I haven’t tried it – sorry! If you thicken it with gluten free flour I wouldn’t recommend it as it doesn’t always re-heat well, but I *think* if you use the recipe as written it should be OK. If you try it come back and let me know how it worked!!!

I think you mean vegetable broth…in order to qualify as vegan?
I did!! Thanks for pointing it out me, I’ll fix it right away!
-Cassidy
Could I use heavy cream instead of the coconut milk? If so, would it be the same amount? Looks amazing!
Even though I haven’t tried it myself, I don’t see any reason why you can’t use heavy cream as a 1:1 substitute. I imagine it should work fine 🙂

This looks great! I’ve never had cream of mushroom soup. So happy to have a creamy vegan nourishing soup for these cold months ahead.
Thanks Jenna, I hope you like it!
I’ve just started to love mushrooms – I think trying a cream of mushroom soup will be the ultimate test to see how I truly feel about them. This looks delightful and so filling.
Oohh yeah, that would be the ultimate test!!!
