Tips for the Best Cream of Mushroom Soup

This is quick and easy but there are a few tips to make it even better.

Mushrooms: I used baby bella mushrooms but you can also use cremini or white button mushrooms. Or a mixture of mushrooms works and adds a blend of flavors Slicing: Buy pre sliced mushrooms to save time. But if you have time slice your own. This helps make sure the mushrooms are the same thickness and will cook at the same rate. You may have to trim the pre-sliced mushrooms if some are too big. Cream: Heavy cream adds incredible richness, but you can substitute half and half and have excellent results. Saute: Don’t under saute the mushrooms. You want a deep color on the mushrooms, and caramelization. This creates the best flavor. Blend it: If you want a smooth creamy soup, once it’s simmered use an immersion blender or place in batches in your blender leaving the small opening on top open and covering with a paper towel and blend to desired texture.

Storing any Leftovers

If there are any leftovers, they make great lunches and other meals!

Fridge: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days. Ideas: Reheat the soup either on the stove top or the microwave. It’s perfect served over rice or pasta or blended and stirred into casseroles for an easy meal. Freeze: Cream based do not usually freeze well. They can become grainy. If you want to freeze it, freeze it before adding the cream.
