Best Slow Cooker Keto Cream of Mushroom Soup

This roasted mushroom soup is smokey, creamy, and loaded with flavor. Preparing this classic soup dish in the slow cooker gives the flavors more time to develop. With this Keto soup slow cooker recipe, you can start a large batch in the morning and have a warm, soul-rejuvenating soup by lunch or dinner time.

Can you skip roasting the mushrooms?

Cremini mushrooms have a unique flavor that is best extracted and enhanced when roasted. This is why we don’t recommend skipping this step. To clean the mushrooms, avoid rinsing or soaking them in water. Too much water can make the mushrooms turn soggy when baked. Instead, wipe them with a damp towel to get rid of any dirt. If your mushrooms are too dirty, then you can rinse them, but make sure you let them dry completely before cooking them. To achieve the best results, bake your mushrooms at a high temperature until they develop a dark golden color.

Can you adapt this recipe to a vegan diet?

Of course, you can! The only 2 ingredients preventing this recipe from being vegan are butter and heavy cream. You can swap out the butter for vegan butter or olive oil, and the heavy cream for coconut milk.

Is this soup suitable for meal prep?

Absolutely! Many Keto slow cooker recipes make for satisfying Keto lunch meals any day of the week. You can prepare a large batch of this soup, serve some of it for dinner, and store the rest in individual containers in the fridge. When you are ready to eat, microwave the soup for a couple of minutes until heated through.

    How does it affect the recipe if I leave out the Sherry? Is there something to use instead?

      Worcestershire would be a good substitute, it also loves mushrooms.

      Sherry, in this case, is a flavor enhancer. Mushrooms flavor is changed for the better when you use it. It increases the umami or “meaty” flavor of the mushrooms. If for any reason you want to omit it, you can. The soup will still be delicious. As a okay substitute, you could add a little msg to increase the flavor. But it will be just fine without it.
