Ingredients
Keto Cream of Mushroom Soup Base
- 4 tbsp Butter I used unsalted
- 4 cups Cremini Mushrooms I used 8oz whole mushrooms and sliced them
- 1 cup Yellow Onion diced
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 tbsp Chicken Better than Bouillon I used low sodium
- 1 tsp Garlic & Herb Salt-Free Seasoning
- 1 cup Organic Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 cup Water
- 1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum
Instructions
- Heat a dutch oven or soup pot to medium-high heat
- Add the butter, mushrooms, onions, and garlic. Saute until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms have started to brown (about 5 minutes)
- Turn the heat to medium-low (so as to not burn the heavy cream).
- Stir in the remaining soup ingredients. Be sure that the broth paste has become fully incorporated.
- Simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and give the soup a chance to thicken.
- Optional: Use a hand blender to blend about half of the soup or add half of the soup to a regular blender to blend.
- Return the blended soup to the pot, stir, and enjoy

Notes
- Xanthan gum: Use 1/4 teaspoon or less. The soup will continue to thicken as it cooks and cools.
- Texture: Blend up to half of the soup for a creamy base while keeping plenty of mushroom pieces.
- Mushrooms: Shiitake mushrooms can replace some or all of the cremini mushrooms. Keep the total amount the same.
- Salt: Taste before adding extra salt since the broth paste already contains salt.
- Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
- Reheating: Warm gently on the stovetop, stirring as it heats to help keep the cream from separating.
