cream of mushroom soup recipe | easy mushroom soup recipe with detailed photo and video recipe. basically a simple creamy soup prepared from either full cream or milk or combination of both with sliced mushroom. mushroom soup is great appetizer and is often served before main course meal in lunch and dinner.
i am not a big fan of soup recipes but i have a special place for creamy soups including cream of mushroom soup and cream of tomato soup. i personally like mushroom soup because, i like mushrooms and any mushroom recipes. it can be anything like mushroom curry, or mushroom starters or even a soup. i prefer to make this from scratch with lots of fresh mushrooms, even though we get canned mushroom soup or as instant soup in any grocery store.
furthermore, some important tips and recommendations for a perfect, creamy mushroom soup. firstly, any stockings can be used to prepare the mushroom soup. chicken stock, or vegetable stock tastes great for cream of mushroom soup recipe. secondly, i have added thyme to this soup recipe which is completely optional. adding thyme introduces dry aroma and a slightly minty flavour to the soup. lastly, do not add cream if you wish to prepare it ahead and deep freeze it. add cream once you defrost and heat the soup.
finally, i would request you to check my other soup recipes collection from my blog. this mainly includes, veg manchow soup, hot and sour soup, palak soup, sweet corn soup, beetroot soup and tomato soup recipe. in addition do visit my other recipes collection like,
