1 1/4 cup chopped fresh mushrooms (you can use canned mushrooms, but obviously fresh is best!! Canned mushrooms are obviously not living foods, but they could do in a pinch.)
1/3 cup cashews
1/4 to 3/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon celtic sea salt
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh mushrooms (reserve - do not add to blender) (and never use canned mushrooms for this part!!)
Directions
1. Wash and dry your mushrooms. Chop 'em up a bit. (If you’re using canned mushrooms, make sure to rinse and drain them. Pat dry with a clean tea towel.)
2. Add all ingredients (except the second amount of reserved finely chopped mushrooms) into your high-speed blender. Blend on high until very smooth and well-blended. Blend for an abnormally long time because you want this raw cream of mushroom recipe to be slightly warm when coming out of the blender.
3. Pour liquidy mushroom soup mixture into a bowl(s). Add remaining mushrooms and stir with a spoon. See what we're doing here? We're making a liquidy mixture and then adding some chunks to it to give it some texture and variety. That's the trick to all my raw soups.
4. Eat this raw cream of mushroom soup recipe immediately, while still warm from the blender!
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
I am posting this raw cream of mushroom soup recipe for my raw friend Gayla. She is dying to making a batch of raw cream of mushroom soup so I wanted to post my simple mushroom soup recipe for her ASAP! I've actually been eating this for lunch all the time lately. As you can tell, I am on a raw vegan soup kick!
It's really quite freaky how much this tastes like Campbell's brand cream of mushroom soup. Also, you can vary the water content of this soup quite a bit to alter the result. I would start with 1/4 cup of water and slowly add a bit more water if necessary to (a) facilitate blending; and (2) to get the consistency that you like your soup.
Another note... Sometimes I like to make a very thick batch of this soup and use it like a mushroomy gravy, as well. Mmm!
In terms of portion sizes, this raw vegan mushroom soup recipe is perfect for one nice big bowl of soup for one person.

A commonly asked question is, “Do I really need a blender AND a food processor?” Yes is the answer! Blenders are used for more liquidy stuff, food processors are used for dryer stuff... If you could only get one I would start with an inexpensive food processor ($60 or so)

Awesome recipe, made the soup last week and today made a slightly modified version. Put in slightly less water, 1/4 cup so that it was thicker then added to spiralised zucchini to make creamy mushroom "pasta". Delicious, a winner!! Loving your raw recipes please keep them coming!! xx

Glad this mushroom soup turned out well for you Lise. Many of my soups are similar - so do expand your horizons and if you liked this one then you will like most of them :) Red pepper soup is good

Canned vegetables are not part of a true raw food diet/way of eating.

I love this recipe it's delicious. I've always made it with raw almond butter, but after trying it with cashews it tastes even better. And, added bonus, raw almond butter is super expensive in England, whereas I can buy a large bag of raw cashews, which will last weeks, for a relatively reasonable price. I'm going to work my way through your other soups now!
ps
I add a tbsp of tamari and top with nutritional yeast flakes (fortified with B12) for variety. I know the latter isn't raw, but it's still a good food in my book.
Thank you

Hi Jane, Awesome! Love it when finding a cheaper solution that tastes just as good :) B12 is super important if you're vegan. Good you're taking it!

The recipe was super easy to make but it wasn't what I expected it to be after reading the reviews.. I'm going to try the other raw soups. It maybe, we are still getting used to eating raw

Hi Cookie, could be a variety of factors, and could be that the flavor just doesn't suit you. Try my red pepper soup instead!

This is a simple base recipe, which is very bland. You will need to add your own mix to this to make it special.
