The first time I made this recipe for vegan condensed cream of chicken soup was this past summer. It happened by complete accident as I was initially testing some blender soup recipes (like this one or this one) that could be served cold.

As soon as I tasted it though, I was shocked how much it tasted like those cans of Campbell’s Cream of Chicken Soups. And, side note: Kinda funny since we just posted T’s veganized version of Campbell’s vegetable soup this past weekend. As it cooled, I noticed it even thickened up exactly like the condensed soups. Food magic!

Immediately, I began dreaming of alllll the cozy soups, stews, and casseroles I could make with this fantastic creation. That is, until I snapped back to the humid, sweaty reality that was my sweltering NE Philly kitchen on the hottest day of the year.

So, I vowed to keep this recipe on the back-burner until using my oven sounded like something more enticing than the torture I knew it would be at that moment. And here, in the throws of December, it seems like a much more appropriate time. I am so happy to share this recipe with you today!

Ingredients in Vegetarian Cream of Chicken Substitute

To make this magical plant-based cream of chicken recipe, you’ll need just a few basic ingredients:

• Red lentils – These are the KEY to creating that incredible real deal texture. I know it sounds a little weird, but TRUST.
• Unsalted / unroasted cashews – These add incredible creaminess and fat to our condensed soup. If you have a nut allergy, you can sub sunflower seeds or hulled hemp seeds.
• Vegan chicken-style bouillon powder – We always use our homemade vegan bouillon powder, so I can’t vouch for other brands.
• Sea salt

How to Make This Vegan Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup

It could NOT be easier to make this vegan condensed cream of chicken soup. You’ll start by throwing all five ingredients into a medium sauce pan. Then, bring it to a boil and let it simmer for 10 minutes.

Next up, carefully add the contents of that simmering pot to your Vitamix or other high-powered blender. Blend on high until smooth and luxuriously creamy. It’s basically mandatory to take a taste at this point, both to test and adjust seasonings and also to marvel at the beauuutiful creation you just made!

Because the soup thickens quickly as it cools, I like to immediately pour it into three 8-oz mason jars and put the lids on each right away. Then, I let them cool completely on the counter before transferring them to the fridge.

When you go to use your jar of vegan condensed cream of chicken soup, it will be super thick and almost gel-like. I know that kinda sounds weird, but if you’ve ever opened one of those Cream of… cans, you know exactly what I mean.

This makes it an ideal 1:1 replacement for condensed cream of chicken soup in any and alllll the recipes! Eeek! I can’t be the only one who gets excited about that, right?!
