I love making multiple batches of this soup and sticking it in the freezer! I usually freeze it in 1 cup portions and pull out a bag when I’m making a casserole. I make sure to stir the cream of mushroom soup well before I put it into freezer bags so all the mushrooms don’t fall to the bottom.
Can I have this cream of mushroom soup on Trim Healthy Mama?
You can! This is a crossover recipe for THM and here is what you need to change: swap the flour out for almond flour, coconut flour, or oat fiber. Add some Xanthum Gum if you need to thicken it more and the olive oil will need replaced by MCT or coconut oil!

May 8 at 6:07 amDo you think this can be frozen for future use as a base for like chicken and rice? Freeze it in cup size portions?

July 18 at 1:51 amDo you think it would be possible to substitute something else for the almond milk, in a nut allergy house?
thanks!

July 18 at 11:25 amI bet soy milk would work! What do you usually drink?
Kerri says
July 18 at 11:28 amSoy is another no no (allergies to that as well). I usually use coconut milk (like Silk brand, not the canned kind) but I feel like that might taste weird in a cream of mushroom soup.
Becca says
July 18 at 11:29 amI’d totally try it and see!
Jen says
September 10 at 5:35 pmI like the ingredients, but how thin is the end product? Would blending half be a good way to thicken it or would you say it’s already thick enough?
Thanks!
Becca says
September 12 at 4:50 pmIt’s thin–I’d add some more thickener or bulk it up with some extra mushrooms!
