Dairy-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe photo by Taste of Home
In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook and stir until tender, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic, salt, vinegar, thyme and pepper; cook 1 minute longer. Mix cornstarch and almond milk until smooth; stir into saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 3-4 minutes.
Test Kitchen tips
You are in full control of how intensely flavored this soup can be. If you like it mellow or are going to be using it in another recipe, keep the mushrooms and veggies from getting too browned. If you love a deep, rich flavor, let the mushrooms and onions cook until they turn a dark golden brown.
While button mushrooms will give you a lovely flavor, try switching it up by using shiitake, portobello or a blend of all three.

Fantastic.
I moved to the Midwest a few years ago and find many recipes shared here call for a can or 2 of condensed cream of something soup.
Almost all of my family is dairy intolerant, for some it’s the milk sugar, for others it’s the milk protein.
This is such a wonderful recipe.
I’ve used oat milk, almond milk and half almond and half coconut milk. All have been delicious.
No one has ever suspected it was dairy free.
It is far more delicious than canned soup.
Thanks very much for sharing the recipe!

This was really good! I'm not dairy intolerant, but I have family and friends who are, so I'm always on the lookout for interesting recipes to have on hand for them. Since I was making it for myself, and I'm not really a fan of almond milk, I substituted soy milk, like another reviewer. Otherwise, I followed the recipe as written, and I really loved the result! I will probably make it for myself again, because it's so quick and easy!

This is a great recipe for me, since I can't have milk. I used soy milk instead of the almond milk and it was delicious. Even my husband loved it.

When the recipe called for 1 # of mushrooms i thought it was a mistake, not - they were delicious and non dairy, a winner for sure.
