    HOW TO MAKE KETO CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP

    For this recipe, I like to chop the mushrooms finely in a food processor.  You could also do this with a knife but I find that getting them finely chopped like this helps them cook quicker.

    mushrooms for keto cream of mushroom soup

    Let’s start by heating the butter in a heavy bottom pot over medium heat.

    Add in the onion and cook until soft, this should take about 5-8 minutes.

    Add in the garlic and the chopped mushrooms and continue to cook for 5 minutes more.

    Add in the chicken broth, heavy cream and sprinkle the xanthan gum over the top and whisk in. Bring to boil for a few minutes to let thicken.

    The soup will be thick, but still chunky.

    If you want a completely smooth keto cream of mushroom soup, you can carefully blend it in a food processor or you can blend half of the soup if you want it to have a bit of texture.  You can also use a immersion blender directly in the pot.

    Whatever method you use, please be careful because the soup is hot!

    JENNIFER'S TIPS

    • I like to use a food processor to chop the mushrooms finely
    • For the mushroom topping: I saved a couple of mushrooms and sliced them thin, then cooked them until crisp in a little oil.

        I didn’t use the xanthan gum and blended some of the mushrooms to thicken it up.

      I followed the recipe and it came out pretty great. I blended half of it to make it creamier, it was perfect

      I tried freezing the soup and the outcome was not good. Very clumpy. But it is an excellent soup so eat it all up fresh!!

          AWESOME! It’s absolutely a keeper! I may try to add spinach and/or cooked chicken thighs next time I make it.
