This classic, rich and creamy mushroom soup is made with button mushrooms, garlic, onions, dry herbs and spices, and cream. You can also serve this as a meal or a starter with toasted bread.
Creamy Mushroom Soup Tips
- The best way to get a creamy texture is to use cream or milk.
- The soup can be thickened using flour or cornstarch slurry. To prepare the cornstarch slurry, whisk together 2 Tbsp cornstarch and 4 Tbsp water until there are no lumps.
- The soup is best enjoyed hot, either on its own or with toasted bread.
- If you don’t like mushroom chunks and prefer a smooth soup, then you can blend the soup using an immersion blender after it’s cooked.
- For the delicious taste, slowly caramelize the mushrooms until they are golden brown and simmer the soup for 20-25 minutes after adding all the ingredients.
