This yummy Keto Cream of Mushroom soup is the perfect lunch meal for anyone that is looking for a low carb choice that is also dairy free. It also a base for a lot of low carb recipes that you can eat on the Keto diet.
My husband and I are both on the Keto diet. He is able to eat dairy, but I am not. I did an elimination diet last year and found out that my body is very reactive to dairy.
Since my husband prefers dairy, I do my best to make low carb recipes that are can work with and without dairy. This homemade cream of mushroom soup recipe can be made both dairy free and with heavy cream and butter. It is pretty much the same soup recipe and I have made it both ways with success.

Most store bought mushroom soup recipes are not gluten free because they use flour to cream the creaminess that makes it cream soup. That begs the question, is Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup gluten free? No, it is not!
For this Keto soup recipe, we are using Almond Flour to create the creaminess of the low carb soup.
How Many Carbs in Cream of Mushroom Soup?

Are Mushrooms Low Carb?
Almost all mushrooms are low carbs. We used Crimini Italian mushrooms because they are low in net carbs. The button mushrooms that you see at most grocery stores are also low carb. But, Shiitake mushrooms are actually pretty high in carbs. Not all mushrooms were created equal.
How to Make Cream of Mushroom Soup
Dice the onion and slice the mushrooms.
Add 1 tbsp of non-dairy butter. Melt the butter.
Saute the onions and mushrooms until they are translucent and the mushrooms are browned about 10 minute on medium.
Add 1 cup of almond milk.
Then, add 2 cups of bone broth.
Add 1/4 cup of almond flour and mix in.
Bring the soup to a boil.
Lower the soup and keep simmering until it reduces by half.
Served with fresh cracked black pepper and if you have fresh thyme on hand, you can use it to garnish.
Notes: You can use xanthan gum to thicken the soup quicker.
Also, if you are using the mushroom soup where it needs to be blended, you can use an immersion blender to mix up the mushroom soup. Then use a mesh strainer or cheese cloth to remove any bits of unblended mushrooms.
You can make this a vegan cream of mushroom soup by using vegetable broth rather than bone broth.
