Sharing my vegetarian twist on a classic comfort food with this Herby Buttered Mushroom Stroganoff. Caramelized wild mushrooms with butter, shallots, and fresh herbs all serve as the base for this creamy meatless stroganoff. Add classic egg noodles and in just about 30 minutes you’ll have a creamy, rich, and hearty vegetarian stroganoff that’s nothing short of delicious…and so comforting too. Promise, you will not miss the meat, but you will be asking for seconds.
Is there anything better than comfort food season?
Today marks the official start to fall. And though it’s always a bit sad to say goodbye to the lazy, carefree days of summer, I’m welcoming fall with the warmest sweaters, mugs of pumpkin lattes, and the coziest dinners…I’m ready!
But you all knew that, because I’ve said it in just about every post since September 1st. I’m sorry for being so repetitive, but I just can’t help it. I can’t tell you exactly where my deep love of autumn comes from. All I know is that this season makes me the happiest. I was walking around the neighborhood Saturday night as the sun was setting, it was so pretty. And even though I have some stress about all of my upcoming events, I just kept thinking about how much I love this time of year. If you follow on Instagram, you know that our leaves are almost at their peak. The colors are fading from green to deep shades of golden yellows and dark orange. Our temperatures have dropped and the weather is changing. The fall is here.
So comfort food season! And I have all the BEST recipes, starting with this stroganoff. It’s like classic beef stroganoff, but minus the beef and plus a whole lot of mushrooms.
It. Is. Delicious.
My inspiration for this stroganoff?
My mother, the woman who inspires all my best cozy recipes, has a deep love for all things comfort food.
Oddly, my mom doesn’t love mushrooms, but she has always enjoyed stroganoff. I really wanted to create a vegetarian twist. Since I love using mushrooms in recipes that call for beef, I went for it. It turned out better than I could have imagined.
Even my mom agreed this was an extra delicious stroganoff. She loved the flavor of the sauce…and the noodles. That woman loves her noodles.
Here are all the details.
First, boil up those egg noodles. I like to use classic egg noodles (usually the Whole Foods 365 brand, extra-wide noodles). They’re classic for a reason and they are perfect. If you’re gluten-free, I’d recommend using these noodles, which I’ve heard great reviews on.
While the noodles are boiling, start working on the mushrooms and sauce. It’s really pretty simple. Cook the mushrooms over high heat to get them caramelized, add butter and herbs…smell the delicious smells.
Now, at this point, I like to do something a little different. Because the mushrooms have such great texture after being cooked in butter, I like to remove half the mushrooms from the skillet before adding the ingredients to the sauce. The reserved mushrooms will be stirred in at the end so they don’t lose any of their texture or flavor. The remaining mushrooms in the skillet will give off all the flavor to the sauce.
Soo, you get the best of both worlds.
For the sauce, I use a mix of broth (it can be vegetable, chicken, or beef) and dry white wine. I LOVE the additional flavor the wine adds and I always find that it pairs so well with fresh thyme and sage. Of course, if you prefer to not use wine, simply use additional broth.
The sauce will thicken as it cooks, then just before serving stir in some milk to add creaminess. I like to use canned full fat coconut milk or heavy cream for an extra creamy sauce. But whole milk or other nut/seed types of milk are great substitutes as well.
Then just toss in the noodles and the reserved mushrooms. In 30 minutes you’ll have a pretty skillet full of herby buttered mushroom stroganoff.
Kind of perfect for the first day of fall, right?
I was going to share an autumn salad (it’s coming Wednesday), but in the end, something inside of me wanted to share this cozy stroganoff. It’s just about as close to perfect as a Monday night dinner can get. Looking forward to having this pantry staple recipe in my back pocket for the busy months ahead.

What a GREAT vegetarian take on this! I made it last night (with the Never-Gonna-You-Down Shiitake Shroom) and it won us over, I didn’t have W sauce and I wish I had because I can imagine it would add just that perfect little punch of acid. Thanks for inspiring such a satisfying meal 🙂
Thank you so much Lynn! I am so glad you loved this! xTieghan
This recipe is delicious! Everyone asked for seconds! I followed the recipe exactly and will not make any changed when I make this again… soon.
I love that! Thank you so much! xTieghan
Tried this recipe tonight and my wife and I both loved it. The store only had portobello and white mushrooms but it was still very hearty testing. Next time we hope to try other varieties of mushrooms. This recipe has gone on our keeper list. Thanks Tieghan.
Thank you Richard! xTieghan
Holy savory deliciousness!! I made this with homemade bone broth and used sour cream instead of cream or milk. I also added a little Parmesan cheese! It was even better the second night when I reheated it with more bone broth and sour cream…dreamy, creamy heaven!! Thank you all of your recipes!! You are definitely one of my favorite humans! I always look forward to your amazing recipes!
That is so amazing to hear Robyn! Thank you so much! xTieghan
OMG! Made this for dinner tonight. Amazing! I used almost double the amount of mushrooms….I bought several different kinds and it was more than I thought. But it was a wonderful dinner! Will definitely make again (and the 2 of us have leftovers……bonus!)
Thank you so much Linda! xTieghan
does using coconut milk give it a coconut flavor? would oat milk work?
Hi Vicki! No, the coconut milk does not add any flavor. I prefer the thickness of coconut milk over oat milk, nut I am sure oat milk would work too! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you! xTieghan
Made this tonight and it was sooooo good. We added about a pound of typical Stroganoff-y beef after frying the mushrooms, and just added a little extra broth and flour for extra sauce. This is going in our regular rotation for sure! Thanks Tieghan!!
I love a good “Meatless Monday” recipe and this one is a keeper. I made it exactly to the specifications and found it needing a little bit of “something” to round out the flavor of the sauce. Toward the end, I added 2 tsp. Dijon mustard and it made up the difference I was looking for in flavor. This is a really nice, easily adaptable recipe. Thanks Tieghan!
I do as well! So glad this turned out so well for you, Nancie! xTieghan
Looks delicious! I’m making this now for my dad’s birthday dinner…?
I love that! Thank you so much Robyn! xTieghan
Delicious. Anxious to try this. I may try these GF noodles, although I’m not GF; I’ve tried the Tinyata Brand, they were good, but not on the leftovers. Love a good pasta dish!
Thank you Joyce! xTieghan
Yummm! Just wanted to mention that regular Worchestershire sauce is actually not vegetarian because it contains anchovies, but I’m sure true vegetarians already know that! I have to try this!
I hope you do! Thank you so much Jane! xTieghan
You know I love all your recipes and make as many as possible. I have made this one several times. I do deglaze the mushroom pans with a bit of Brandy. I have also used Sour Cream when I did not have cream or coconut milk in the house. I make this dish when its wild Moral mushrooms season in the Pacific Northwest. Thank you for always doing your homework and putting out tried and true recipes.
Thank you so much Lori! I am so glad you loved this! xTieghan
Looooove the recipe Teighan! I am a big mushroom lover. Hopefully i can use shiitake mushrooms for this? I do not know unfortunately if those are wild mushrooms? Pinned this recipe right away!!! YUM!
Hi!! shiitake mushrooms are PERFECT and will be delicious! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you! xTieghan
I can’t wait to try this recipe. And yes, the Jovial gluten free noodles are the best!
I hope you love this Michelle! Thank you! xTieghan
Snap, I’ve got mushrooms on my blog today too (only buttery leeks and mushrooms on toast though, nothing fancy! https://www.rachelphipps.com/2019/09/mushrooms-leeks-eggs-toast.html) – but this looks so much better, perfect for cooler weeknights – bookmarked this, as it is supposed to rain all. week. here in London!
YES! Great minds think alike! Thank you Rachel! xTieghan
