Creamy Multiple Mushroom Soup is one of those comfort foods that just hits the spot, especially on a cold damp day.  The earthiness of the mushrooms, the creaminess of the cheese and the satisfaction you get when you eat a nice rich thick soup along with some homemade bread.  Ahhh the simple pleasures that taste so good!!This is a pretty basic soup that produces wonderful results every time.  I love experimenting with different varieties of mushrooms as they all have their own unique flavour that makes the soup a little different each time.  As for dried mushrooms, well they are in their own league.  With so many wonderful options available, this allows you to create endless combinations of this wonderful soup.

Fresh mushroom, dried mushrooms and wine soup ingredients.

Pick your mushrooms.  For the dried mushrooms I soak them in some white wine to reconstitute, then use the wine in the broth. Sauté the onions and thyme in some olive oil and butter to soften, then add the chopped mushrooms (fresh and dried).  Cook for approximately 10 minutes.  Add the wine, salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes.

Add some chicken broth and cook for about 20 minutes. Remove about 3/4 cup of broth to melt cream cheese. With an immersion blender, puree the soup.

In a small pot melt the butter.  Add the flour and blend.  Add the cream and bring to a boil.  Add mixture to pureed soup and cook until thickened about 10 minutes.

I use cream cheese in my soup so at this point I would add the room temperature cream cheese to the reserved both to melt.  When the cheese is melted, whisk into the soup.  Cook for additional 5 minutes.

There you have it rich, creamy, earthy….and oh so yummy.  Over the years I have played around with many variations, but I finally have found one that we truly love.  Creamy Multiple Mushroom Soup makes it’s way on our dinner table many times throughout the year.

  1. Our house is never without mushrooms. We stick them in just about everything. But one soup I’ve never made is Cream Of Mushroom with just one variety or multiple mushrooms. Your recipe is tempting me to rush out and buy a variety of mushrooms to make this delicious looking soup. This is a special occasion soup as far as I’m concerned.

    • This soup is so easy and delicious. You can switch up the mushrooms to different tastes as well.

  5. This looks absolutely delicious! I love that you soak your mushrooms in wine 🙂 And I am a big fan of using cream cheese to thicken soups. Great recipe!!

  45. Mmm! I am a huge fan of mushroom soup, and it is so much better made at home with tons of mushrooms than it is from a can. I’ve never tried using cream cheese in a soup before, but that’s a great idea — I’ll have to give that a try next time!
