This low carb brown butter mushroom soup recipe uses very simple but healthy ingredients to make a healthy but delicious soup. Traditional cream of mushroom soup is made using flour and cream to give it the rich and creamy texture. Those that have an intolerance to gluten or are simply looking to avoid recipes using gluten as a base can enjoy this creamy soup that is just as delicious. I’ve used cauliflower as a base for this soup to add a rich and creamy texture to this soup.
You can also make a spicy version of this low carb brown butter mushroom soup by adding red pepper flakes to the base. You can always adjust the amount of red pepper flakes depending on how spicy you would like to make the soup.
