do you have any health food stores near you that may sell a vegan equivalent?

Unfortunately not, even if there were I think their prices would be tripled. Are you recommending any specific brand, in case I see it in the future?

someone on here forever ago made a cream soup substitute they said was delicious... have you checked the tags?

Well after your suggestion I did go back to check the tags, but I had been keeping check for almost a year for this cream :P I did try with soy cream (too sweet), milk alternatives... the cashew sauce, without any mushroom even, was the closest I got.

Checking the tags I did found lots of tasty looking garlic white sauce though, so thank you.

i just checked my recipe folder on my harddrive, and i'm 99% sure this is the recipe that was posted in this community, and i'm REALLY sorry i can't give credit where credit is due (i sure hope if this recipe belongs to someone, they speak up).

cream of mushroom soup

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups diced mushrooms
1/4 cup Earth Balance (or other margarine)
3 TBS flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup Tofutti sour cream
2 cups "chicken" broth (I used Better Than Bouillon Vegetarian Chicken style)

Melt the margarine over medium heat in a saucepan and then add the mushrooms. Stir frequently and cook the mushrooms for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the flour and salt on top and stir it up. Slowly add the sour cream and broth, alternating each and stirring each addition until incorporated. Heat until hot.

I have access to neither Tofutti products or "chicken broths" sadly, nor any other vegan sour cream. I guess I could research a recipe for it, if the recipe is particularly good (and it sure seems to be).

Thank you for going all the way to research this :)

saute an onion until soft and add 500g or finely chopped mushrooms and cook or 3-4 minutes, Stir in 1 pint of vegetable stock and a tablespoon of chopped parsley, salt and pepper, bring to the boil, cover and simmer gently for 15 mins.

Mix 2 teaspoons of cornflour with a little cold water and stir it into the soup, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the soup has thickened an finally sir in 150ml of soya cream and serve right away.

P.S, you could also add some white wine or sherry just before the end of cooking if you wanted.
