Homemade cream of mushroom soup tastes so much better than canned, and is so simple to make! Pair it with a side salad or a sandwich for a satisfying meal.

The most important ingredient in this recipe is, you guessed it, fresh mushrooms! You can use just about any kind of mushrooms in this recipe. I used a combination of cremini and white button mushrooms this time, and they worked perfectly.

How to Make Creamy Mushroom Soup

Begin this recipe by cooking the mushrooms in a bit of olive oil and butter. The mushrooms are going to get pureed, but I like this soup to have a texture that is both smooth and chunky. That’s why I like to remove some of the mushrooms from the pot at this point and set them aside (they will be added back at the end).

Add the shallots, garlic and thyme and sauté them a bit until fragrant. Then, add the broth and allow the mixture to simmer for a bit.

Next, blend everything together until smooth. I prefer to use an immersion blender, but you can use a regular/traditional blender instead and just return the soup to the pot when you are done.

Important: If you do use a traditional blender, be sure to blend the hot soup in batches, and only fill the blender up until it is halfway full.

Finally, stir in the cream, season with a little S & P, and add back the mushrooms you set aside from before. Soup’s ready!

For this Creamy Mushroom Soup recipe, I recommend:

• Kitchen and Food Scale – A scale makes it so easy to measure the perfect amount of mushrooms to use for this dish. A kitchen scale is also super useful when you need to accurately measure the weight of pasta, meat, or flour to use in recipes.
• Immersion/Hand Blender – This is the one I use and love! I have had mine for years and it is one of my favorite kitchen tools. I use it all the time to make soups, smoothies and sauces.
