Ingredients + Variations
In this recipe, onion and mushrooms are softened and simmered with white wine and vegetable broth, then made creamy with vegan sour cream for a delicious main dish everyone will love.
Here is everything you will, including substitution ideas (measurements are in the recipe card below):
- Mushrooms – use brown, cremini mushrooms for the best flavor, but white will do if in a pinch
- Onion – a large shallot will also do nicely in place of a yellow onion
- Garlic – use fresh or powdered
- Vegan butter – my all time fav is Miyoko’s, you can sub with olive oil or water saute (see notes)
- Flour – use unbleached all-purpose, whole wheat, or oat
- White wine – can be omitted and replaced with veg broth
- Vegetable broth – use a quality brand for best flavor
- Vegan sour cream – use store bought or make this easy homemade cashew Vegan Sour Cream, you can even sub in coconut milk or cream, or vegan cream
- Salt + pepper
- Pasta – any straight or curvy pasta will do, use your favorite or what you have on had like I did (I used this fun and curly trottoli)
How To Make Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff
Take a quick look at the steps and what you can expect when making vegan mushroom stroganoff. Note, the full printable recipe is at the bottom of the post.
- Saute onion and mushrooms. Using a large pot or dutch oven, saute the onions until tender. Add the mushrooms and cook until they have sweated down, releasing some juices, about 5 minutes.
- Add the flour. Sprinkle in the flour, stir to mix until all the flour has dissolved in the mushroom juices. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add the liquids. Carefully pour in the white wine and vegetable broth, and cook for about 5 minutes to let the alcohol evaporate.
- Add the sour cream. Stir in the vegan sour cream.
- Add the finishing touch. Sprinkle in the parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
And that’s it! Now you are ready to toss with cooked pasta or spoon it overtop.
So easy. So delicious. Dinner is served!
Top Tips
- Make it herby. Add in up to 1 teaspoon each of thyme and/or sage.
- Add umami flavor. If you have vegan worcestershire on hand, add in 2 – 3 teaspoons with the broth for added depth of flavor.
- Adjust the mushroom amount to taste. I like a lot of mushrooms for heartiness and used almost 2 lbs., feel free to use only 1 lb.
- Add protein. Toss in 1 cup or so of frozen peas at the end of cooking. Or add them to the pasta, in the last 4 minutes or so, while cooking. Or simply steam separately and toss them in last.
- Easily adjust for dietary restrictions. See below for how to make vegan mushroom stroganoff oil-free, gluten-free, nut-free and alcohol-free.

How To Store + Reheat
- Refrigerator: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 – 6 days, in covered containers.
- Freezer: Vegan mushroom stroganoff is freezer friendly and can be stored, alone or with pasta mixed, for up to 2 – 3 months in the freezer. To freeze, let cool completely and store in freezer safe
multi-use containers (affiliate link) or freezer bags. Let thaw before reheating. - Reheat: Reheat on the stovetop using a saucepan, adding a splash of non-dairy milk as needed to thin (or add moisture back in if reheating with pasta). Alternatively, warm individual portions in the microwave using 30 – 60 second intervals, stirring between each, until warmed through.
Serving Suggestions
Mushroom stroganoff is typically served with pasta but is also great served over a bed of Vegan Mashed Potatoes or grain such as Instant Pot Farro. Round out your meal with any of these delicious options:
- Bread: Serve with a slice of homemade Artisan Bread.
- Salad: Pair with a simple Classic House Salad or 50/50 spring mix with sliced red onions and tomatoes with Flax + Evo Balsamic Vinaigrette for added greens and roughage.
- Soup: Pair with a small bowl of Vegan Cauliflower Soup or Creamy Celery Soup.
- Veggie: Serve with a side of Savory Sauteed Kale.
Adjusting For Dietary Restrictions
You can easily adjust this mushroom stroganoff to suit most dietary needs with a few simple adjustments.
- Oil-Free – To make mushroom stroganoff oil-free, in place of vegan butter or oil, use a water saute. Use 1/4 cup water or vegetable broth when sauteing the onions and mushrooms, adding more as needed. Skip the flour and use 3/4 cup vegan sour cream.
- Gluten-Free – Use oat flour, and serve with gluten-free pasta, or on a bed of rice or Mashed Potatoes.
- Grain-free – Serve over a bed of Mashed Potatoes or Roasted Red Potatoes.
- Nut-Free – For a nut-free mushroom stroganoff, use 2 – 3 tablespoon tahini or store bought nut-free Tofutti Sour Cream. You can also make a roux, adding 5 tablespoons of flour, instead of 2, to thicken the sauce without adding sour cream.
- Alcohol-free – Sub the wine with vegetable broth.

I love this dish! My husband who is a meat eater also loved it. It freezes very well! Thank you for sharing so many wonderful recipes!
I made this, but could not use vegetable broth because all of those I could find contained tomato, to which I am allergic. I also could not find any vegan sour cream that did not contain soy. Next time I will use less liquid, because I thought it was runny, but it tasted very good even with my substitutions. It is hard to find many vegan recipes for entrees when you can’t have nightshades, soy, or citrus, so I appreciated finding one I could eat.
Soy-free- vegan sour cream brands:
To find where these are sold, in your area, or online, you can go to their websites and use the “Store Locater” link and your search engine.
• Wayfare
My 1st choice because it’s organic and tastes great. In Ohio, sold at Raisin Rack and Hills Market.
• Forager Project
(My 2nd preferred brand, overall, because all their products are organic and made of simple, non-toxic clean ingredients. some of which, including their sour cream, contain probiotics. Sold at Whole Foods.
• Follow Your Heart – Aside from not using organic ingredients, I like this brand. IMO, FYH makes the best soy-free mayo, hands down and their vegan cheese is a top contender too. I’ve heard that their sour cream is tasty.
• Kite Hill – Sold at Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods
• Good Karma
As for a a tomato-free stock, if I were you, I’d substitute with an organic vegan mushroom broth such as
• Pacific Natural Foods. (Widely sold brand)
I hope this proves helpful, Rebecca. ☺
I made the oil-free version using water instead of oil, so I omitted the flour as suggested. However, instead of using vegan sour cream, I accidentally used vegan cream cheese and wondered why it tasted so cheesy. My husband who is not a huge stroganoff fan absolutely loved it and said “don’t change a thing.”. I also added the 1/2 teaspoon of thyme and sage as an afterthought. Very tasty! I ate it over a potato, and my husband had his over whole wheat pasta. We will make this often. Thank you!!!
Hi I was wondering if I can use a different flour to make this gluten free ?
Yes, you can use oat flour or any GF flour blend in this recipe to make it gluten-free. Hope that helps. If you have any other questions feel free to ask!
Easy to make and super yummy! Will make again
How well does the pasta freeze? Any specific suggestions for freezing?
Hi Shana! It freezes well. You can find all the detailed information for storing and reheating is in the recipe post. Here is a direct link How To Store + Reheat. Let me know if you have any other questions. Enjoy this delicious pasta recipe!
This was delicious! I added fresh broccoli and asparagus at the end. My husband also loved it.
I love this recepie!
I substituted the Vegan sour creme with coconut Milk and it worked perfectly!
Thanks for sharing, Lukas! This is very helpful and something I will have to try!
I am having trouble finding vegan sour cream where I live…but I do have vegan cream cheese, and suggestions for making that work as a substitute. Thank you so much for this recipe!!! I am so excited to make it!
Yes, I would just thin the cream cheese a bit by mixing it with water. Start with 1/4 cup, add a little water and go up from there adjusting as needed. All you really need is the consistency of a thick cream. Do let us know how it goes!
This was delicious and easy to make! I will most definitely be adding this into my meal rotation. Thank you for the easy recipes I am glad I found your website :)
Yah, so glad to hear! Thank you so much for sharing, Teressa!
