This 30-minute Creamy Keto Mushroom Soup is also Gluten-Free, and Low-Carb but most of all tastes, so good.
Like most people I often find myself craving comfort foods this time of year when the chill sets in.
It’s the perfect hearty keto soup that is filling during the cold Fall and winter months for lunch, brunch, or dinner.
Dairy-Free Keto Cream Of Mushroom Soup Options
For a dairy-free keto cream of mushroom soup, you can substitute the cream for macadamia nut milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or almond milk.
Personally, I’d go for the coconut milk or macadamia nut milk both of which are favourites of ours.
We find that almond milk and oat milk have a strong flavour to them that distinctively change the tastes of foods.
To thicken the keto cream of mushroom soup I used a teaspoon of xanthan gum which you can buy on Amazon or at the grocery store.
Recommendations For This Keto Cream Of Mushroom Soup
Immersion Hand Blender – The immersion blender is one of my prized frugal kitchen tools as I use it for so many recipes. It’s worth the investment 100%.
Glass Measuring Cups are great for easy measuring, hot and cold liquids, and most of all easy pouring. We have a set of 3 glass measuring cups of various sizes. Another great investment for your kitchen.
Soup Ladle is essential for every kitchen and will last you a lifetime.
Types Of Red Low Carb Wine
I added 2 tablespoons of a dry red wine that my father-in-law made for the traditional cream of mushroom taste.
Dry wines are acceptable on a low carb diet with many coming in at 1-2 net carbs for 5 oz according to Virtalhealth.com
Here are some low-carb common dry wines (with roughly 1-2g carbs per 5oz):
Cabernet Sauvignon
Pinot Noir
Chardonnay
Sauvignon Blanc
Chablis
Zinfandel
You can leave the wine out and add 2 tablespoons of water instead if you’d prefer not to use it.
The wine adds 2.6 grams of carbohydrates to the recipe which is not much at all.
How To Make Creamy Mushroom Soup
The entire Keto Cream of Mushroom Soup comes together in one pot and a bowl which makes cleaning super-easy.
That’s the way I like it and it’s a quick soup recipe for those weekday nights or you can prepare and freeze it in advance.
Note: If you do use a classic blender make sure to fill it half-way and blend in batches as the soup will be hot.
Making The Broth
You can make a keto chicken bone broth as we have in the crockpot or instant pot or buy it pre-made.
We make it once a month and store it in our freezer and defrost it as needed for soup recipes.
Occasionally, on hand in our pantry, we will have organic chicken bone broth powder as well as beef bouillon cubes.
If you are eating a keto diet keep in mind the ingredients for pre-made broths in cans and boxes.
To keep the recipe vegetarian you can use vegetable scraps (we collect them in our freezer for our bone broth) and simmer in the crockpot.
This recipe calls for 4 cups or 1 litre of chicken bone broth.
Cooking The Mushrooms
I used 4lbs of white mushrooms but you can use any mushroom that you like to make keto mushroom soup.
To clean the mushrooms I peeled them but you can use a brush to clean them however I prefer to peel them.
With two tablespoons of butter melted in a pot along with 1/2 cup of chopped white onion and 2 cloves of minced garlic, I saute the mushrooms.
Then I add 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of dry thyme.
Add the two tablespoons of dry red wine.
Once the mushrooms turn a golden colour and have softened the real magic begins to bring the keto cream of mushroom soup together.
The entire process should take 5-7 minutes.
Mushroom Substitutions
Some other types of mushrooms to substitute if you don’t care for white mushrooms might:
If you forage mushrooms this is the perfect mushroom soup recipe for your mushroom haul.
Recently we foraged shaggy mane mushrooms which we could have used if we found more than 5 of them.
This year has been slow foraging mushrooms in our area however we didn’t get out as far as we’d like to.
However, this time of year there is loads of Ontario wild edible mushrooms you can forage depending on where you live.
Also, you need to be vigilant when foraging mushrooms because they can be poisons and kill you if you aren’t mushroom educated.
Wild Mushrooms Of Ontario
Some of our favourite wild edible mushrooms in Ontario are:
chicken of the woods
common puffball
giant puffball
golden chanterelle
hedgehog mushroom
hen of the woods
horn of plenty (aka black chanterelle, black trumpet)
lion’s mane
lobster mushroom
oyster mushroom
Incorporating Remaining Ingredients
Once the mushrooms are done go ahead and add the chicken broth and bring it to a boil.
Add 2 cups of whipping cream and stir it in followed by removing 4 ladles of the mushroom soup into a container.
Using your immersion blender on high blend the mushrooms into a creamy mushroom soup.
Add that back into the pot of remaining cut mushrooms and cream broth.
By doing this you add more creamy broth so each bowl gets equal amounts of the broth and sliced mushrooms.
Add 1 tsp of xanthan gum to the soup and mix it through and then bring it to a boil then reduce to medium for 5 minutes.
The soup will thicken in about 5 minutes however if you don’t prefer to thicken the soup you can leave the xanthan gum out.
That’s it.
