Homemade cream of mushroom soup is a wonderful and soul-satisfying treat on a cold winter day (though we enjoy it all year round). Have it with warm crusty garlic bread, bruschetta, dinner rolls, or garlic croutons.

Tips on how to make mushroom soup:

Fresh, white button mushrooms are the variety used in this mushroom soup recipe. Rinse or wipe dry the mushrooms. Slice off the lower part of the stalk of each mushroom. Then chop them roughly, or even slice them.
 

The secret to developing depth of flavour in this soup is the slow, long browning of the mushrooms to caramelize them well. This results in the complex, earthy taste that we all love.
 

We like our mushroom soup smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, with pieces or slices of mushrooms, you can remove a handful of mushrooms before running the soup in the blender and then add the mushrooms back when simmering the cream of mushroom soup after blending.
 

If the soup is too thick for you, you can thin it to the desired consistency by adding more vegetable stock. In this case, taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as necessary.
 

Our easy mushroom soup will last for about 2 days in the refrigerator, though we prefer having it fresh immediately upon preparation.

A variation to this easy mushroom soup is to combine two or more mushroom varieties - you can use any combination of white button mushrooms, oyster, cremini (young portobello mushrooms), shiitake, chanterelle, and porcini mushrooms, or other wild mushrooms that you like.
