    cream of mushroom soup Ingredients

    Mushroom - Use shiitake mushrooms, crimini mushrooms or Button Mushrooms.

    Onion - Use red onions , I add a tsp of onion powder too . They give a nice flavor to the soup.

    Oil - Use any cooking oil for sautéing the mushrooms. You can also use butter.

    Spices and Seasonings - We use garlic powder, Onion powder, Black Pepper powder, dried thyme dried rosemary. You can also use fresh garlic if you prefer.

    Liquids for the Soup - You can use water or any stock. Stock gives more flavor to the soup but they are high in sodium. so use homemade stock if possible. If using water adjust the seasonings if you find the soup blank for your taste.

    Heavy Cream - Use heavy cream or half and half. For a vegan version use coconut cream.

    Corn starch - Use corn starch for thickening the soup. You may skip if you do not prefer.

    Tips & Suggestions

    • For a richer soup use Chicken stock in place of Vegetable soup (if you can ) . For a lighter version you can go with the vegetable stock.
    • I will use whichever is available when I make the soup. Worst case I go with water.
    • Also you may garnish the soup with some parmesan too.
    • For a vegan version you may replace heavy cream with coconut cream.
    • You may also use shiitake mushrooms , crimini mushrooms too.
    • You can also add in celery to the soup. It is a nice add on.
    • In place of the heavy cream you may also use half and half.

    Storing Suggestions

    The soup stays good for 5 days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave and then serve. If you are freezing the soup, You can freeze them after you blend the soup with the immersion blender. I do not recommend adding the cream to the soup and then freezing.

    Before you serve the soup you may reheat ,add cream and corn starch simmer and then serve. If you are freezing after adding the dairy (cream) the soup will get curdled as you reheat.

    Serving Options

    Serve the soup warm with bread or breadsticks. Garnish the sup with fresh thyme or parsley and serve. For extra spiciness if you prefer you may also sprinkle in come chili flakes.
