    This Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff is savory, comforting, and oh-so-creamy! It's nut-free and much healthier than its non-vegan counterpart.

    I have another fantastic cookbook to tell you about today and this Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff is right out of its pages. Yep, I have permission to share it right here on Vegan Huggs.

    Yay for us!

    You might be familiar with Katie Koteen and Kate Kasbee. They are two cross-country friends that share tons of simply delicious, and healthy vegan recipes on their blog Well Vegan.

    Well, now they are sharing even more deliciousness in their new cookbook Frugal Vegan. This cookbook is designed to show you that tasty vegan cooking is easy, affordable, and fun!

    Something for everyone

    Whether you're a vegan, vegan-curious, or a carnivore, this cookbook is for everyone! The recipes inside are familiar, simple, tasty and satisfying.

    You won't be going hungry, that's for sure!

    The title Frugal Vegan really lives up to its name. Each recipe was created with saving money in mind. The ingredients are easy to find and inexpensive too.

    It really proves that you can eat deliciously healthy vegan food on a budget. However, you'll really be getting bang for your buck. These recipes aren't for rabbits and there are 99 of them that are completely drool-worthy!

    Inside, you'll find a smart shopping guide and plenty of tips on how to save money, including building a budget pantry. The authors also go into detail on how to batch cook and freeze your food.

    I've picked up so many new ideas and I'm looking forward to putting them into action and saving money. Who doesn't love to save money?

    Also, each recipe is clearly marked with symbols that offer clarity on dietary restrictions, which include: gluten-free, nut-free and soy-free. This is definitely a safe book to buy if you have nut allergies. Almost every recipe is nut-free (except a few).

    A lot of vegan recipes call for nuts and that makes it hard for some people. Plus, nuts can be expensive, so omitting them is a nice bonus too.

    You don't have to be a chef to make these recipes. They are easy to follow, contain simple ingredients and most of them take less than 30 minutes to make.

    Oh, I forgot about the photos (my favorite part). They are just gorgeous and inviting to look at. Each one gives you a feeling like "hey, I can make that" and they are completely simple & approachable.

    I'm so excited to dive into more of this book!

    Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff

    Do you guys notice a little trend here? I've posted a lot of pasta recipes lately. Gosh, I can't help it! I'm a total carb lover and this Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff just had to be eaten.

    It was seriously calling my name and it was love at first sight!

    Usually, I skip creamier sauces during the warmer months, but this recipe is much lighter than your average stroganoff base.

    Many creamy vegan recipes call for cashew (even my own recipe) but this one just uses store-bought vegan sour cream. Tofutti and Wayfare brands are both nut-free. You can also use my Vegan Sour Cream Recipe if you don't need a nut-free version.

    Not only is this dish lighter, but it's also more affordable and easier to make. I really like that!

    But, just because it's lighter, doesn't mean it's lacking in taste. It's packed with meaty, umami-rich mushroom flavor with an ultra-creamy, savory, and slightly tangy base.

    And all that goodness is taken over the edge by smothering your favorite pasta with it. Now that's comfort on a plate if you ask me!

    Doesn't that sound satisfying and easy to make? It's a total weeknight winner (or weekend) and it's totally calling your name!

    Let's do this!

    I’d love to hear from you

    Mushroom Stroganoff

    The very definition of comfort food, this Mushroom Stroganoff is ideal for chilly winter nights when all you want is a big bowl of carbs to warm the cockles of your heart. Traditionally a Russian meal with beef in the starring role, we updated this nineteenth-century classic and gave it a plant-based twist. With tender, sautéed portobello mushrooms and a dairy-free cream sauce, our version packs all the delicious flavor of the original dish without the sky-high calorie count.

    Ingredients

    • 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
    • ½ yellow onion , diced
    • 2 garlic cloves , finely chopped
    • 1 lb (454 g) baby portobello mushrooms , sliced
    • 1½ cups (355 ml) vegetable broth
    • 2 tsp (10 ml) soy sauce or tamari
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
    • ½ cup (60 g) vegan sour cream (store-bought or homemade)*See note
    • 2 tbsp (16 g) whole wheat flour
    • 1 lb (454 g) farfalle pasta, cooked
    • Salt and black pepper , to taste
    • Fresh parsley , chopped
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until fragrant and the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Then add the mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and become soft, about 7 minutes.
    • Stir in the vegetable broth, soy sauce or tamari and thyme, and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the liquid has reduced by a third, about 10 minutes. Mix in the Vegan Sour Cream and flour. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens, another 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
    • Cook the pasta according to package directions, until al dente. Drain, rinse and return the noodles to the pot. Pour the mushroom sauce over the pasta and stir to coat. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Divide the pasta between 4 bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

    Notes

    * Notes by Vegan Huggs:
    • I used low sodium tamari sauce and I added 1 ½  teaspoons more. Taste the sauce before adding the pasta and add more tamari or salt as needed.
    • I used 12 oz of pasta.
    • I stirred in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the sauce after removing from the heat. It adds a subtle zing. Try with 1 tablespoon first and taste, add more if desired. 
    • If you use my Vegan Sour Cream recipe, it will not be a nut-free recipe anymore.

      There is a delicious vegan one pot mushroom “beef” stroganoff that I found online that I’m in love with!! The only thing is I had to find a recipe to make the “ beef” broth vegan ( there are no organic vegan beef broths in stores) which I also found and swear it takes the recipe to a whole new level! The only thing was I try to avoid gluten and soy when possible, but mainly gluten. That recipe called for vegan Worcestershire sauce as well as soy sauce or tamari. This recipe sounds awesome too and simpler , but I wonder if it’s as flavorful as the one I’ve been making? One way to find out :)! I will be trying this soon. Is there any substitutes for soy sauce that may still work for this? Thanks in advance!!

        Hi ReShonda, That one-pot stroganoff sounds scrumptious! Have you tried gluten-free tamari? San-J makes a great one. Also, you can use coconut aminos. It's a soy sauce alternative and it's tasty! This recipe pretty flavorful and I hope you'll give it a try. Thanks for stopping by 🙂

      I've made this more than once. I've also made it for my father to throw into his freezer for an easy go to meal when he needs one. Love the "mushroomyness" of this recipe and the sour cream gives it a nice smooth edge. Lovely! Thanks for sharing!

      Melissa, I am so glad I found your site from a link to this recipe from veganricha.com. I finally made this for a late lunch; my husband and I LOVED it. I don't think I ever had stroganoff before today, but I'll certainly be making it again,
      THANK YOU. Now I'll peruse your blog and see what other treasures you bring to us. 🙂

          They are hard to find. The only times I’ve found them are at Kroger and Wal-Mart. And they’re store brands. IF I am lucky enough to find them, I get about 5-6 bags. I’ve even tried Amazon and Whole Foods (no luck).

      Tried this tonight and it was delicious! I also added some extra soy sauce and crushed red pepper. I couldn't get the sauce to thicken-is there a trick to it, or would corn starch help thicken it?
      I love your blog and all the recipes. I also ordered the Frugal Vegan-thanks for the recommenation!

        Oh-I forgot to add-I used Barilla High Protein pasta (Barilla is a now a leading LGBTQ employer and I like to support their turnaround), so that means 17G of protein more in each serving!

        Hi Leyla, thank you for making it. I'm not sure why the sauce didn't thicken up for you. Maybe it needed to cook longer? You can definitely try cornstarch or arrowroot powder next time though. They will also help thicken things up. I'd love to hear how it works out for you next time. I'm glad you ordered Frugal Vegan. It has so many simple and delicious recipes. Have a great week!

      This recipe was amazing. I love mushrooms, but never thought about using them in a vegan stroganoff. I followed the recipe exactly, adding a bit more tamari at the end, as suggested. It was perfect! So creamy and delicious, full of flavor. We dove right in, so sorry, no picture. I will be adding this to my dinner rotation, for sure. Thanks!
