A Grain-Free, Paleo-Friendly Substitute

I posted a few days ago about my desire to substitute something for Cream of Mushroom soup for some receipes.

This came across my notice:

Low-Carb, Grain-Free, Dairy-Free, Paleo Friendly Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 punnets fresh mushrooms sliced
• 2 cans (29 oz.) chicken broth
• ½ chopped onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1/8 tsp. dried thyme
• 3 tbs. bacon fat
• 3 tbs. coconut flour
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

Directions

1. In a large heavy saucepan, sauté mushrooms with onion, garlic, and thyme in bacon fat until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
2. In blender or food processor, puree 1/3 of the mixture, leaving some chunks of vegetable in it. Set aside. For a smoother soup puree all of the mixture.
3. Add chicken broth to crock-pot, whisk in the flour until smooth. Add the salt, pepper, almond milk and all mushrooms including puree. Bring soup to a boil on high, turn heat to low and cook 6-8 hrs. or until thickened. Adjust seasonings to taste.

It still has flour--albeit coconut--and meat products...
