    Mushroom soup is such a comforting dish that is also easy to make. If you plan on serving it as a main dish, read on for ideas about what to serve with mushroom soup!

    I have always felt that the simple mushroom is a food that does not get enough glory. It is an unassuming, versatile ingredient that deserves more attention. I love a good mushroom appetizer, but I get really happy when it is the star of a soup!

    When serving soup as a main course for a dinner party, weeknight meal or a larger gathering, it is a bit tricky to figure out what pairs well with it.

    Below you will find a few of my favorite delicious recipes to serve alongside your bowl of soup. Choose a few of these recipes to make everyone at the table happy and satisfied!

    FAQ About Mushrooms

    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 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.

    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.

    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 they start turning brown or getting soft, these are signs that they are starting to spoil.

    Recipe Notes for This Creamy Soup

    • Consistency/thickness – For a smoother soup consistency, use a blender, immersion blender, potato masher or food processor to puree the mixture. Be sure to allow it to cool before adding it to the blender, if you go that route.
    • Mushrooms – Choose from a variety of mushrooms to use in this soup, including white mushrooms, wild mushrooms, button mushrooms, cremini mushrooms or baby bella mushrooms.
    • Fats – Olive oil and butter can be used interchangeably in this recipe.
    • Gluten-free – Transform this broccoli cheese soup into a gluten-free meal by omitting the flour.
    • Flavor – The white wine in the recipe is optional, but adds incredible flavor! Read this post about how to add flavor to soup in other ways.
    • Spice – Add a dash of cayenne pepper for a nice little kick!
    • Cream – Heavy whipping cream can be replaced with any variety of milk. Use oat milk, coconut milk or almond milk to create a dairy free recipe. Replace a portion of the heavy cream with cream cheese or sour cream for extra flavor!
    • Broth – Chicken stock, chicken broth, vegetable stock and vegetable broth can be used interchangeably.
    • Toppings – Serve with a spring of thyme and a sprinkling of black pepper. Don’t forget croutons for a crunchy topping!

    What To Serve With Mushroom Soup – Best Side Dishes

    • Salad – A simple salad with creamy dressing, chopped salad or veggie salad are always perfect pairings.
    • Bread – Dinner rolls, crusty bread, Parmesan cheese bread or bread sticks will act as perfect sides. Or serve the soup in a bread bowl!
    • Meats – This creamy dish pairs well with just about every type of cooked meat. Chicken, roast beef, steak, pork chops, ground beef, ham or ribs are all delicious pairings.
    • Sandwiches – Serve with a grilled cheese sandwich or panini for the perfect comforting combo.
    • Casseroles – A casserole loaded with comforting ingredients is the perfect pairing. Green bean casserole, tater tot casserole and hash brown casserole are delicious options.
