A hearty and comforting Rustic Vegetarian Mushroom Soup loaded with all the warm and cozy vibes!
This Rustic Vegetarian Mushroom Soup is full of flavor and so creamy. A variety of mushrooms and a dash of soy sauce brings that umami flavor that, combined with the sour cream, makes it a perfect combination. This recipe is a delicious and quick meal for both weeknight nights and special occasions.
I highly recommend using low sodium broth and soy sauce. Be aware that if you decide to use regular broth and soy sauce this meal will be really high in sodium!
To make the soup less or more creamy, add more or less broth. I suggest following the recipe and make adjustments at the very end.Substitutions.
- cornstarch – you can use all-purpose flour, or any kind of flour to make the soup thicker
- half-and-half – you can swap it for almond milk or cow’s milk; milk will make it a bit less creamy, but the difference won’t be tremendous, so if you want to keep it a bit lower in fat milk might be a better option for you
- vegetable broth – if you don’t care whether the meal is vegetarian or not, you can substitute the vegetable broth with chicken or beef broth

Recipe details
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 lb. variety of mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 3 1/2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 tbsp sweet paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne
- 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried dill weed
- 1 tsp dried thyme
Instructions
- In a soup pot, sauté the onions and garlic in the butter over medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Then, add the mushrooms and season with dill, thyme, cayenne, and paprika and allow the mushrooms and onions to continue cooking for an additional 7-10 minutes, stirring often.
- Slowly pour in the vegetable stock, soy sauce, and lemon juice and scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen anything that might be stuck on. Allow the soup to gain a simmer and then let cook and reduce for 5 minutes.
- In the meantime, whisk together the milk and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth (you can also just shake it all in a jar.)
- Pour the mixture into the soup and continue to cook the soup for 8-10 minutes, or until the soup thickens, stirring as required.
- Remove the soup from heat. Top with sour cream.

Sounds delicious! I’m dairy free and would use Almond Milk. Should the corn starch be modified for thickness? I hardly use corn starch so not familiar in how it would thicken with my milk. Thank you!
