Best Creamy Mushroom Soup is a combo of little white button mushrooms, flavorful cremini mushrooms and coconut cream. All you need is a blender. Fast and smooth in texture.
When I was visiting some of my family in South Lake Tahoe, California we all went to this great little restaurant that served beautiful looking soup.
My niece was saying how delicious their soups were - especially the creamy mushroom soup and the tomato soup. Guess what they ordered?
When the soups were served I saw that both soups were creamy smooth and everybody was ooohing and ahhhing over the flavors.
Of course, I had to ask if they ever share their recipes. The answer was a polite 'no' but they did say that all of their soups have cream as an important ingredient. Oops.
You think I'd know better by now but my brain is challenged sometimes - especially when my family gets me all excited about a restaurant they like.
Creamy Mushroom Soup became my first choice because there aren't any tomatoes in my garden - yet. And I love mushrooms - big time.
I also thought that little white button mushrooms would be great mixed with flavorful cremini mushrooms. It would make it heartier and give the soup more depth. I was right.
Delicious ingredients blended together and I mean blended. Creamy smooth in texture and so very memorable.
It too has a very flavorful soup base but this recipe is from the slow cooker and has whole exotic mushrooms included. Take a look!
The next time you're looking for a delicious soup and an easy mix for the crock pot give this one a try. It's different and impressive.
You Can Freeze This Creamy Soup If You Use Full Fat Coconut Cream!
- I always hesitate to tell people they can freeze this soup or others when using coconut cream. Often people try to cut the fats and buy coconut cream lite.
- That won't work. There is too much water and it tends to get gritty. Please buy the full-fat kind that is 17% to 22%. It's marked on the can.
- Sometimes it says coconut milk on the can and not coconut cream (I think Trader Joe's) so check the fat ingredients on the label.
- I make ice cream all the time with full fat and it's creamy and good!
Helpful Tools for Making the Best Creamy Mushroom Soup
- A great blender - depending on the size of your blender you might be able to do the whole recipe at once. Mine is smaller and I did it in batches.
- A stainless steel skillet would be very nice to take care of the sauteing.
- Nice old fashioned type, sturdy glass measuring cups are the way to go.
I hope you can try this recipe because it is also really easy to make. All you need is a blender.
Yes, I said blender. So that makes it fun and easy too!

how big is the can of coconut milk? We only have large cartons of coconut milk in our grocery store so I need to know how much to use please.

It is the 13.5 ounce size can. It has more fat than the coconut milk in the cartons.
