If you have all the ingredients down, let’s get cookin’!

The recipe states two kinds of mushrooms are needed but feel free to use 600g of your preferred mushroom for this recipe. Begin by dicing the mushrooms into small pieces.

Them melting the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Then, add the onion and garlic. When the onion and garlic are softened, after about 3 minutes, add the mushrooms. Stir regularly for 10 minutes.

Next, add the veg or chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Boil the mixture, remove the lid, and lower the heat. Bring to a simmer for about 15 minutes, then add the cream. Simmer for five minutes more. You may also use creme fraiche or sour cream instead of regular cream.


This next step is optional: if you have a blender, take the mixture off the heat and transfer it to the appliance and blitz until smooth. It is recommended to remove the cap on the feeding hole in the blender’s lid and place a folded tea towel over the opening to prevent the hot soup from exploding in the blender. Using the tea towel allows hot air to escape, relieving pressure from building up inside. As an added precaution, start from lower blender speeds.

If you don’t have a blender, don’t worry! The soup won’t be as smooth, but it should still be delicious! Once done, transfer to a serving bowl and top with parsley, thyme, or garnish of choice. You also can’t go wrong with croutons!

And voila, your mushroom soup is ready. We wish you all the best in soup-making and eating, members!

Hey there, thanks for sharing this delicious mushroom soup recipe! It looks amazing, and I can't wait to try it. I love making soup, and this recipe seems easy to follow with ingredients that are readily available in most kitchens. Speaking of mushrooms, have you ever tried incorporating wild mushrooms into your cooking? They add a unique earthy flavor to dishes and are a great way to incorporate some foraged food into your diet. I recently stumbled upon a website about Wild Food, which has some great information on foraging for wild food, and it seems captivating.
