Rich and Velvety Cream of Mushroom Soup is one of our favorite winter recipes. Like our Broccoli Potato Cheese Soup and New England Clam Chowder, delicious, robust soup is comfort food at its finest. Serve it with a simple Arugula & Beet Salad for a satisfying dinner, or enjoy a cup with ranch crackers for lunch.

Ingredients

ingredients for creamy mushroom soup on marble surface
  • MUSHROOMS: We like to use a blend of mixed mushrooms to create the best, full-bodied flavor. We used white mushrooms (Baby Bellas), cremini mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms.
  • BUTTER: salted or unsalted butter works
  • FLOUR: AP flour is our favorite. Any flour works
  • OLIVE OIL: use the best quality of Extra Virgin Olive Oil you can afford
  • CHIVES: chopped
  • BEEF STOCK (BEEF BROTH): You can use chicken broth (chicken stock) as well.
  • HEAVY CREAM
  • CRACKED BLACK PEPPER
  • SALT
  • TRUFFLE OIL: use the best quality you can afford (optional, but so good!)

What mushrooms are best for mushroom soup?

We think a blend of mushrooms is best for maximum flavor. Start with fresh white and Cremini mushrooms, and add other varieties. Mini portobello mushrooms, Shiitake mushrooms, or oyster mushrooms work well. If you like this recipe, be sure to try our Traditional Beef Stroganoff!

Why this recipe works

You can usually find different varieties of mushrooms at the market all year round. We used crimini mushrooms (baby Bella mushrooms), white mushrooms and enoki mushrooms in this recipe. The process of roasting the mushrooms first is key to developing the rich, complex flavor (it also gives it the deep golden hue). This recipe uses a few ingredients, but it is filled with absolutely delicious, rich flavor.

Storage

Frequent Asked Questions (FAQ's)

Can I make Cream of Mushroom Soup gluten free?

Yes! Follow steps 1 & 2, then skip step 3. Combine mushrooms + beef stock with salt & pepper and cook for 5 min. Then in small bowl, add 3 tablespoon cornstarch with ½ C water and stir until dissolved. Add this mixture to the mushroom broth and stir (it's going to thicken rather quickly). Turn heat down to low, add cream and allow to simmer for 10-15 min. You can adjust the consistency by adding more cream or broth (if too thick) or a little more cornstarch to the water mixture if it is too thin.

    Hi! do you think I could make this with cornstarch instead of flour? I'm gluten free, this soup looks amazing, and my love for mushrooms makes me want to attempt the substitution. Thanks!

      Hi Melissa, we're so happy you stopped by!
      Yes, you can!! Follow steps 1 & 2, then skip step 3. Then combine mushrooms + beef stock with salt & pepper and cook for 5 min. Then in small bowl, add 3 Tbsp cornstarch with 1/2 C water and stir until dissolved. Add this mixture to the mushroom broth and stir (it's going to thicken rather quickly). Turn heat down to low, add cream and allow to simmer for 10-15 min. You can adjust the consistency by adding more cream or broth (if too thick) or a little more cornstarch to the water mixture if too thin.
      Please do let us know how it turns out!!
