How To Make Mushroom Soup

Make this simmering hot mushroom soup at home!

1. Saute mushrooms in butter and add garlic in a large pot. Set aside a few mushrooms for garnish.
2. Add cauliflower, thyme, and chicken broth. Simmer.
3. Whisk in cream cheese.
4. Puree soup mixture with a blender until smooth.
5. Season with salt and pepper. (As per recipe below)
6. Serve with a drizzle of heavy cream and reserved mushrooms.

PRO TIP: For an extra elegant garnish, sprinkle the soup with finely diced red bell peppers.

Tips For the Best Soup!

Let the cream cheese come to room temperature before stirring into the soup so it blends quickly and easily.

Cut cauliflower pieces into small, uniform sizes so that they cook quicker and are easier to blend.

For a thicker soup, stir in a little heavy whipping cream. Or if a thin consistency is desired, stir in a little milk.

What To Do with Leftovers

Keep leftover homemade mushroom soup in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat leftovers on the stove before serving. Alternately, freeze leftover mushroom soup in an ice cube tray and store cubes in a zippered bag. Pop one or two out to add flavor to sauces, stir-fries or blend into cauliflower mashed potatoes.
