I am so in love with mushrooms that my husband worries about me. He is on the opposite end of that love, so I feel very misunderstood in my home on the mushroom front. When I made this mushroom soup he nearly ran from the house screaming. But I pressed on and could not have been happier with the delicious flavor coming out of this yummy soup!
Not only it is out-of-this-world scrumptious, it is also super easy to throw together and it’s an affordable meal to buy ingredients for. Throw this together for the mushroom lovers in your life! This is a great recipe for dinner parties or any old weeknight meal.
HOW TO MAKE CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP
STEP 1
Melt butter in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, celery, thyme, salt and pepper and cook until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Add the mushrooms.
Cook until they are golden brown, approximately 5 minutes.
STEP 2
Add the flour and stir until veggies are coated.
Add white wine and stir until lumps are gone. Turn heat to medium-high and add the broth. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer over medium-low. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and let cool for 20 to 30 minutes.
STEP 3
Pour the mushroom mixture into a blender and puree until smooth. Pour back into the Dutch oven and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until heated through. Add heavy cream and cook until warm.
Serve warm with thyme on top!
RECIPE NOTES
- Be absolutely sure that you allow the soup to cool before pureeing it in the blender!
- Another option for making the soup creamier is to use an immersion blender or even a potato masher, depending on how smooth you want it to be.
- The white wine in the recipe is optional, but adds incredible flavor!
- For a beautiful presentation (since, uh, the soup itself is not super beautiful), lay a few fresh thyme leaves over the top before serving.
- Chicken and vegetable broth can be used interchangeably in this recipe.
- Any type of mushrooms work great in this soup, even the standard white variety that is easily found in the produce aisle.

ARE MUSHROOMS GOOD FOR YOU?
Mushrooms themselves are packed with nutritional value. They contain almost no calories and also have fiber and protein, as well as many other vitamins and nutrients. When combined with butter, oil and other ingredients the healthiness obviously diminishes, so keep this in mind when preparing them.
CAN DOGS EAT MUSHROOMS?
Store-bought mushrooms are totally safe for consumption for dogs. There are wild varieties of mushrooms that neither dogs nor humans should eat, but the varieties you will find in the store are safe.
CAN YOU FREEZE MUSHROOMS?
Mushrooms can definitely be frozen, but for best results freeze before cooking to avoid mushiness. If you find yourself with an abundance of mushrooms, first place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and quick freeze them for 20 minutes. This will ensure that they do not stick together once they are touching.
Place them in a heavy duty freezer bag and freeze for up to 4 months. When ready to enjoy, allow the mushrooms to thaw completely in the fridge before cooking or eating them.
HOW LONG DO MUSHROOMS LAST?
Store fresh mushrooms in a paper bag in the fridge for best results. They need a little bit of air in order to stay fresh, unlike other vegetables. Mushrooms will stay fresh for 5-7 days when refrigerated and stored properly. If mushrooms start turning brown or getting soft, these are signs that they are starting to spoil.
