Vegetarian Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe

 

When looking for comfort food, this vegetarian cream of mushroom soup recipe is an excellent choice. 

After shifting to a vegetarian diet years ago, I was surprised to learn that a whole lot of soups that sound like they would be vegetarian are not.

Whether you’re ordering soup in a restaurant, opening up a can or preparing a recipe, chicken stock (or something similar) is often an ingredient.

Fortunately, it just isn’t necessary.

Soup tastes great without meat stock.

This Cream of Mushroom Soup is rich, flavorful and satisfying.

It’s easy to make and the homemade taste of this feel good soup is fantastic.
