Low Carb Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe

I usually find that I use cream of mushroom soup as ingredients in other dishes. For example, I use cream of chicken soup in my cheesy chicken and rice bake but you could just as easily use cream of mushroom and it would be delicious. For use IN a dish, you may want to chop the mushrooms into smaller pieces. Or not. It’s really a personal preference.

You can also enjoy it by itself, because it’s delicious and creamy and filling.

My version of cream of mushroom soup is low carb which makes it perfect for keto diet followers, but those who don’t follow a low carb diet won’t even notice the changes I made to make it low carb. My family didn’t.

I think my son had at least four bowls of this soup, he just kept eating and eating.

How do you make cream of mushroom soup?

The recipe below explains the fairly easy process of making homemade cream of mushroom soup. You can use whole button mushrooms and slice them or buy them already sliced. I am lazy and prefer to buy them sliced. It saves a little bit of time.

The key to cream of mushroom soup is getting it to thicken, and for a low carb version you need to make a slurry out of arrowroot and water and add it in towards the end to thicken the soup.
