Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups chopped fresh mushrooms
- 1/3 cup cashews
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh mushrooms (reserve - do not add to blender)
Recipe Directions
- 1. Wash and dry your mushrooms. Chop 'em up a bit.
- 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.

B12 is very important. It can cause a dangerous deficiency without it

Hi Renelle, great point. I totally agree. B12 and B6 are the only supplements that I take.

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

Where is the canned food in this recipe?
The Rawtarian

Good question! At one point in the past I mentioned that you can use canned sliced mushrooms to make this recipe (instead of the fresh mushrooms). You absolutely can! Fresh is best (obviously) but using canned is a good option and it turns out well if you used canned mushrooms. (Just rinse and drain them first to remove excess liquid.)

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

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

I don't have a blender and will buy one but should I get a food processor which is better?

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)

I will use Pb (100% peanuts only) for this recipe. I'll let you know :)
The Rawtarian
Jan 11, 2013
Hi Laura, I am confused! Why are you using peanuts in a cream of mush soup recipe?

I have never had a raw soup before - so i just made it for lunch and think it's fab. I just added pepper because I like things a little spicy. Soooooo Goooood!!!! Now I want to make the other raw soups!
The Rawtarian
Jan 09, 2013
Hi Rikaine! You will find making other soups pretty easy since most of my soup recipes are pretty similar and you will get the hang of it - so much so that you will be creating your own :) I recommend the tomato or the celery, they are really good

Had this for lunch, added garlic and thyme. Yum. Loving your recipes, so simple and tasty! I added lukewarm water instead of cold which helped with temperature too.

Glad you liked it Chelsea :) I like your spice additions.

I admit I didn't have much faith going in this deceptively simple recipe but I'm glad I was proven wrong.
Tasty!
