Low-Carb Cream of Mushroom Soup
Monsoon and hot soups!! what a divine combination. I must say this creamy and low carb mushroom soup is my all-time favourite now. I would love to make this luscious creamy mushroom soup very often.
This is one of the soul-warming soup recipes during fall or rainy days. This cream of mushroom soup is an easy and quick soup where you don’t need any kind of preparation. This is an instant soup in fact.
This creamy low carb mushroom soup is perfect for any season in fact. Whether it’s summer, monsoon or winter, who doesn’t love a quick warm bowl of soup.
Rich with nutrition this mushroom soup is super easy to make and flavorful with its earthy look & taste. It has flavours of garlic and chilli for that spiciness, curd, pepper, natural mild sweetness from mushrooms and onion, everything well balanced made this a perfect recipe.
To make it a little creamy I have added 1/4 tsp whole wheat flour which is better than all-purpose flour. You can also add almond flour also to it. A pinch of flour and 2 tbsp of milk made it more creamy.
In this recipe, I have completely skipped milk cream to make this healthy and low fat and low carb. So here the flour and milk will give that creamy texture. This cream of mushroom soup is a no cheese no cream soup recipe.
I have replaced heavy cream with beaten curd. If you are vegan then use non-dairy milk and vegan curd for the recipe. If you are following Keto diet then add heavy cream and butter for this recipe.
