There is nothing more comforting than digging into a bowl of cream of mushroom soup.
I'm a big fan of soups. Whenever I dine out, I always order soup but I rarely make them at home. Yesterday, I got a packet of fresh button mushrooms from the market and thought of making it. I was skeptical at first but this soup turned out wonderfully!! It's a great appetizer and it'll surely win your heart. This silky, creamy mushroom soup is perfect for a lunch or a dinner party starter. It can help by filling you up without too many calories.
You can go through these step by step methods!
1. Clean 200 grams of button mushrooms with the damp paper towel and finely slice them. Keep them aside.
2. Heat 3 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan, add 1/2 inch of grated ginger, 4 cloves of chopped garlic and sauté it for 40-50 seconds until they turn golden brown.
4. Add sliced mushrooms in the pan. Sauté it for 2-3 minutes. Loosely cover the pan for 4-5 minutes. Stir occasionally. Turn off the flame.
5. Leave 4 tablespoon of mushrooms in the pan and grind the remaining cooked mushroom by adding 1.5 cups of milk in a blender. Whizz everything until smooth. Once you have grind the mushrooms, transfer it to the pan and reheat it.
6. Next, add 2 cups of water and 1/2 cup of cream, and bring it to boil. Season it with 1 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp of black pepper and/or 1/2 tsp of oregano. Stir it well. SERVE PIPING HOT!!

2. Use milk and cream at the room temperature.
3. You can grind your mushrooms with any type of blender you have.
4. You can also add vegetable stock in the soup instead of water and/or milk.
5. You can substitute cream by adding more milk in the soup.
6. You can also add 2 tablespoon of flour in the soup.
I am the opposite of you - I make soups at home really often (I find them so simple to make) but never order them when I eat out! I've never made a mushroom soup though - yours looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried to make this at home before. I don't like it on it's own (not a mushroom person) but I have a few recipes that use cream of mushroom soup and it would be wonderful to try to use this rather than the canned stuff!

Cream of mushroom soup was one of my favorites as a child. Although we always added extra cheese to it. That never hurts. I would definitely love to try this recipe out.
