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!

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?
