    Mushroom Soup

    Mushroom Soup is a rich soup made by cooking mushroom along with butter, garlic, onion, flour in a milk based creamy sauce and garnished with herbs and spices. This Mushroom Soup is one of the easiest and quickest soup recipes that you can try.

    Mushroom Soup has become one of my family favorite soups. Kids, Amma and Hubby loved it so much that they wanted it to be in our weekly menu.

    Soup and Homemade Bread is our favorite dinner especially in winter. I usually make regular loaf bread but this time tried Whole Wheat French Bread and it was a great combo with this Mushroom Soup.

    Hot or cold you can make this Mushroom Soup any time of the year and enjoy. This soup can be served as a main dish or as an appetizer. With bread as its side you can enjoy it for lunch or dinner too.

    Mushrooms to use

    Regular white button mushrooms are best for this soup. However you can use cremini or portobello mushrooms too.

    First mushrooms are rinsed and cleaned well, then chopped into slices and made ready then it is sauteed along with butter, garlic, onion and flour. Then milk is added to form a creamy sauce finally fresh cream is added along with spices and herbs. If you want a low fat version you can skip fresh cream and use only whole milk.

    I make Butter Garlic Mushroom often as kids are fond of it. Other than that Mushroom Manchurian and Mushroom Soup has become our recent favorite.

    Expert Tips

    • Always add fresh boiled milk to avoid it from curdling.
    • After fresh cream is added do not boil for a long time.
    • You can either use wheat flour or maida there will be no much difference in taste and consistency.
    • You can even add a tablespoon of chopped spring onion while sauteing garlic.
    • Use milk and cream at room temperature.
    • Use freshly ground pepper powder for a great flavor.
    • For a low fat version add 2 tablespoon cream or skip it.
    • I used button mushrooms, You can use other variety mushrooms too but the taste varies accordingly.

    Serving & Storage

    Mushroom Soup is a great starter to savor by itself. However you can accompany it with bread, croutons or garlic bread etc. This Soup keeps well in room temperature for about a day and in fridge for 2 days. As its purely milk based soup I would suggest to consume and finish it off the day it is made itself.

    FAQS

    1.My soup is not creamy, What can I do?

    Once flour is added just saute for few seconds and add water, milk and keep stirring in low medium flame. It will thicken soon if it does not then simmer for few more minutes but keep stirring. Adding cream gives creaminess and rich taste to the soup.

    2.Can I make this soup vegan?

    You can use olive oil replacing butter and almond milk or soya milk replacing milk. You can use cashew or almond paste to make it more creamy.

      Hi Sharmi

      I tried this soup and it came out very well.
      I have a doubt, can we replace corn flour instead of maida?
