This vegetarian Mushroom Stroganoff recipe is quick and easy to make in about 30 minutes, and it is perfectly comforting, hearty, savory, and delicious.
My recipe for traditional Beef Stroganoff has long been one of the most popular posts on this blog. And with good reason — it’s one of my faves. But as more and more of us are eating less meat nowadays, I’ve been receiving more and more questions about whether it’s possible to make this classic comfort food sans-beef. My answer?
Totally do-able.
Also? Totally delicious. ♡
Turns out that mushrooms — with all of their hearty, savory, umami-y goodness — carry this dish perfectly fine on their own. They also have the added benefit of being significantly more healthy and less expensive than traditional beef. And when paired with tender egg noodles and a savory stroganoff sauce, this dish tastes just like the nostalgic comfort food we all know and love.
Let’s make some vegetarian stroganoff!
Mushroom Stroganoff Recipe | 1-Minute Video
More good news? This recipe is incredibly simple to make, and can be on the table in just about 30 minutes.
To begin, bring a pot of water to a boil for your noodles. (You can use egg noodles, traditional pasta, quinoa…you name it.) And while that’s heating up, get to choppin’.
You’ll need a full pound of mushrooms for this recipe. But the type is up to you! I just kept mine simple and used a bunch of baby bellas (a.k.a. cremini mushrooms), since they were the only ones available at our neighborhood market by us this week. But white button mushrooms would also work. Or — even better — grab a mix at the store for even more delicious mushroom flavors. (That’s totally happening here the next time I make this.)
Once you have all of your ingredients prepped and chopped, sauté them all together in a large sauté pan or stockpot. Then once it’s time to add the veggie stock mixture (see below), add your noodles to the boiling water, and the timing should work out well for everything to be ready to go in the end.
Once the sauce and noodles are ready to go, you can either plate up your noodles and serve the sauce on top…
…or, combine the noodles and sauce altogether in the pan, and then serve. Big choices here, folks.
Then, just sprinkle on your favorite toppings (I’m a big fan of freshly-grated Parm, a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or thyme, and extra black pepper)…
This vegetarian Mushroom Stroganoff recipe is quick and easy to make in about 30 minutes, and it is perfectly comforting, hearty, savory, and delicious. Feel free to serve over egg noodles, traditional pasta, quinoa, veggies, or whatever sounds delicious.
Ingredients
Scale
1 pound wide egg noodles
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 small white onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound baby bella mushrooms*
1/2 cup dry white wine
1.5 cups vegetable stock
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (here is a vegetarian brand)
3 1/2 tablespoons flour
3 small sprigs of fresh thyme (or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme)
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or light sour cream
Kosher salt and freshly-cracked black pepper
optional toppings: freshly-grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, extra black pepper
Instructions
Cook egg noodles al dente in boiling, generously-salted water according to package instructions. (For optimal timing, I recommend actually adding the egg noodles to the boiling water at the same time that the vegetable stock is added to the stroganoff.)
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, garlic and mushrooms, and stir to combine. Continue sautéing for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms are cooked and tender. Add the white wine, and deglaze the pan by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Let the sauce simmer for 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable stock, Worcestershire and flour until smooth. Pour the vegetable stock mixture into the pan, along with the thyme, and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Then, stir in the Greek yogurt (or sour cream) evenly into the sauce. Taste, and season with a generous pinch of two of salt and pepper as needed.
Serve immediately over the egg noodles, garnished with your desired toppings.
Notes
*Feel free to use whatever mushrooms you have available. A mixture of your faves would be great!
Best Stroganoff ever! We used Portabellos, sliced and quartered. We did the flour slurry with 2 dashes Worcestershire and a tsp of soy sauce, using a mushroom stock. Finished the sauce with Greek yogurt… it was beautiful and delicious!
Nice recipe, made it vegan with the Worcestershire
Sauce, sour cream and butter, and papparedelle noodles. My package of noodles was 12 oz. which was plenty for the amount of sauce. This is a keeper. Husband says he’d like it again if I want to do it… knows I like to do new things all the time!
This was easy, quick and delicious. I used soy sauce instead of worcestshire sauce and plain yogurt instead of greek yogurt. I added some extra wine too and plain veggie ground round for protein. Yummy!
I’m the only vegetarian in the house and love when I make a meatless meal and get “loved it”..And can tell its not just a thanks, it was good. Lol, only thing I did different was not adding white wine. Did not have any.
Absolutely DELICIOUS!! When your carnivore partner says, “I can’t believe there isn’t any meat in this!” You know you have a winning recipe! I’ve started cooking vegetarian meals for my partners son who is staying with us for the next few weeks. It provided the perfect opportunity for me to clean up our eating habits and put healthier options on the table. This recipe will definitely be a regular meal for my family going forward. Thank you for sharing!
I have made this numerous times and have my finalized version to have the addition of; liquid smoke, smoked paprika, mushroom dark soy sauce & handfuls of fresh spinach!
These recipes sure sound delicious.My Sons girlfriend is vegan and my health has been poor over the years with rheumatoid arthritis so I am really looking to eat healthier with less to no meat and even try meatless products.I personally love vegetables so I would enjoy many of your dishes.I have a Son with Autism and I really just want us all healthy so I thank you for sharing your recipes with us all it’s very kind.I don’t find much kindness snymore in this world so I applaud it in every way.Thank You
This is my fave mushroom stroganoff recipe! It is so easy and so delicious! I didn’t have the wine on hand this time, but it was still good with extra veggie stock instead. YUM!
This recipe is outstanding! I doubled the sauce and added vegetarian meat crumbles. My husband, who doesn’t like mushrooms, LOVED this dish and our meat eating friend said she didn’t miss the meat and that it was the best stroganoff she’s ever had! Thank you for sharing your recipe!
Wow! SO good! I’ve tried other stroganoff recipes but my husband, son, and I all agree that this recipe blows the others “out of the water.” The combo of white wine, thyme, and Worcestershire is amazing. This will definitely be on a consistent rotation in our household!
Very tasty! I thought the sauce was thin and doubled the sour cream to thicken it. I loved the worcestershire sauce. But it lacked the nutmeg that I grew up expecting in stroganoff, so I added a generous 1/4 teaspoon. I also added some brown mustard, as suggested in another review. Next time, I will add a little more flour and more mushrooms.
Didn’t have white wine – substituted 1/4 c lime juice & 1/4 c apple cider vinegar – we have been working on no gluten lately – so I substituted the noodles for Zoodles (zucchini noodles) we substituted the flour for whole oats ground in the blender.
I’ve made this recipe before – for my daughter in her vegetarian journey – we all love this recipe 🥰
Mine was a little bland since my husband is on a low sodium diet so I used low sodium broth and Worcestershire and didn’t add any salt. I love mushrooms and stroganoff so please me know if you have any suggestions! Thanks!
I made this without the wine and I miss measured the flour so it ended up being soup. Still pretty tasty.
I didn’t have just the onions so it was a variation of this recipe. (I buy pre cut mirepoix).
I will try this again and hopefully I’ll measure the flour correctly.
Really good recipe! I didn’t add wine because I didn’t have any, and I used a Massel cube for veg stock, so didn’t add additional salt, and in my opinion it wasn’t needed. Heavy on the pepper and parsley at the end, with parm for garnish. Kids loved it, and I have picky eaters.
Fabulous recipe! Had friends over and had made for the first time. Everyone LOVED. I did add peas. Made extra sauce yum. Also used a good beef broth. As didnt need to go vegetarian.
Thank you will make this often.
Great!!!!

This recipe is a keeper. I made it as written but next time will cut the flour in half next time as we like a gravy texture and this was really thick.
Just found a nee favourite. Thank you

I doubled it no problem. Really tasty.
One of my favorite mushroom meals. So delicious!

You can also serve this over halved baked potatoes…yummy and healthy (if you eat the peel).
Delicious! I added impossible ground “meat” which made it even heartier. Thank you for this amazing and easy recipe!

This recipe is so delicious!! It had so much flavor, and a really nice texture too. Meat eaters will not miss the meat at all.

Delicious! Vegetarians can now enjoy stroganoff too.
My family really liked this. I had to substitute in soy sauce and herbs de province. I definitely would make it again .

This Mushroom Strogonoff is fantastic
Usually use beef in strogonoff but I will happily switch to this veggie version
