It’s Halloween! Is this recipe a trick?! Sort of…I’m honestly not all that proud to say that I’m just not that into Halloween. Maybe some of you can relate?
Something I’m REALLY into though is Thanksgiving! It’s been my favorite holiday for as long as I can remember.
Forget the lights and the presents. Just give me turkey gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and ALL THE PIE. That is the stuff I live for every single fall.
A funny thing the happened this year as I was figuring out what Thanksgiving recipes to post. I realized I had 3 different stuffing recipes on here but NO green bean casserole!
So, that recipe is coming very, very soon. Before the end of this week! But before we dive into all of that fried onion goodness, I figured I’d give you an extremely valuable recipe in and of itself – homemade cream of mushroom soup.
This soup forms the base for the green bean casserole that you’re getting tomorrow, and it’s just a helpful one to have on hand for all sorts of paleo cooking endeavors.
The soup itself is made in one pot and super simple. Mushrooms, onions and garlic sauteed in ghee (are you hooked yet?!).
Broth and coconut milk, herbs and spices, plus tapioca or arrowroot flour as a thickener. Feel free to interchange the two flours whenever you need to thicken something – I’ve found theres no real difference in the resulting texture.
I pureed everything nice and creamy with my immersion blender, but if you prefer your soup chunkier and the mushrooms “visible” feel free to omit this step.
I hope you enjoy this easy, satisfying and savory soup! Let’s get cooking!

Thank you! I’ve been trying to replicate my mom’s green bean casserole for years but couldn’t figure out how to do it without that nasty can of cream of mushroom soup! Can’t wait for the recipe! 🙂
My son is allergic to coconut and I was wondering if I could just use his regular non-dairy milk as a substitute?
This is SO good! Do you think you could freeze this?
Such a comforting fall and winter staple!
Amazing information about the Paleo cream mushroom soup, this is an amazing and wonderful information, thanks for sharing…
This is so so good. I changed a couple of things up only because it’s what I had on hand (dried mixed mushrooms and leftover compliant bacon fat). So delicious!!!
Yay! Thrilled you enjoyed it 🙂
Would this be a good recipe to freeze?
Made this for lunch today and I loved it because it was so simple, didn’t need 100 ingredients , yet was full of flavor. I didn’t have coconut milk on hand so instead used Almond Breeze Original Unsweetened and it seemed to work just fine. I’m certain I’ll make this again on another cold day. The one thing I couldn’t figure out is how to make this a little creamier rather than having more obvious mushroom pieces in it. I did use my immersion blender but maybe I needed to use it longer. Not sure. ANYWAY it was still really, really good.
This was… AMAZING! Even my 16 month old daughter loved it! Trying out the green bean casserole tonight with my leftovers
This is Delish!
I subbed the chicken broth with my homemade beef bone broth and it was delicious!
Good question this is how to open documents windows 10 and only this tutorial have the full answer.
I made this for the green bean casserole. Definitely will keep this recipe! Question, what other recipes can I use this in? I still have half of the soup left over and want to use it this week in a dish but am not familiar with using it in other things so I need ideas!
I can’t believe how all your recipes are just so good!!
Thank you for adding so much enjoyment to my family’s lives.
Can you make ahead and freeze this soup? Made this last year for your green bean casserole and it was super yummy. Working on my timeline and if this can be done ahead that would be great.
Easy to make, quick and tastes great. I don’t have the required hand blender, but my regular blender worked great. My blender is made of glass and recommend NOT using one made of plastic as that the soup was just boiling seconds before.
Yummy! I use this all the time to replace the gross canned stuff! Thank you! Does this freeze well? How long do leftovers last in the fridge? TIA
Can you freeze this recipe for future use? If so any best practices suggestions?
wow really nice!! also we are providing franchise opportunity for kumbakonam filter coffee shop in all over tamilnadu. https://www.kumbakonamfiltercoffee.com/
Terribly bitter. What am I doing wrong?
Can this recipe be made in an instant pot?
You’ve never steered me wrong! Made the soup for green bean casserole and hubby made a face–“There’s none left for me?” I gave him what was left after I set aside what I need for the casserole and he licked the bowl! A very yummy soup. You rocked it again!
I am about to make this recipe, but I need to know how big a serving is, so I can decide how much doubling I might need to do. Also, does this soup freeze well?
