How to Make Cream of Mushroom Soup….?
-
Take a deep bottom pan and add butter and some oil (to avoid burning of the butter) heat it properly so that all the butter melts.
-
Now add the finely chopped onions and sauté/fry them till they become translucent and start giving a nice aroma. Now add garlic and sauté till the raw smell goes.
-
Then add the diced mushrooms (here I have used button mushroom one can use shitake, porcini or oyster mushrooms) let them be sautéed till they all the water is evaporated. (Mushrooms have tendency to leave water when cooked).
-
At this stage sprinkle the flour and along with the flour add the spices i.e. (mixed herbs, oregano, ground pepper and salt) and let them sauté for some time.
-
Now add some vegetable stock to the preparation and let it simmer for some time and reduce, then add the cream/milk stir nicely and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. The soup thickens as it cools...!
-
Taste for seasoning and serve cream of mushroom soup hot with bread of your choice.

I really would love to try this recipe. I am fond of light soups, but very much open, especially in cold weather, to venture out into the “creamy” texture!
Fall is the perfect time for soup. I haven’t tried cream of mushroom before but I will know. Thanks for sharing.
This soup sounds so delicious, although, for me, I would have to make a lot of substitutes. I have weird food allergies like milk, onion and garlic.
It’s so bad that I am allergic to mushrooms! Cream of mushroom always looks super delicious to me!
