Made with both fresh and dried mushrooms this Creamy Multiple Mushroom Soup is thick, rich and the perfect start to any meal.
If you are not a fan of mushroom soup in a can, THIS is the recipe for you.
Creamy Multiple Mushroom Soup is one of those comfort foods that 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! Easy to make Roasted Cauliflower Soup is another great choice.
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.
Are you a pierogi lover? Well, do I have a mushroom recipe for you. This is Pierogy Sauce made with creamy mushrooms and dill is THE BEST pierogi topping EVER!
Love grilled mushrooms? These Loaded Portobello Mushrooms Caps are grilled and stacked with ham, cheese, and tomato. A light meal or perfect starter.
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 ¾ 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.
