I made this soup almost a year ago, but never wrote down the recipe. So, of course, I made it again today and I think I made it even better!
In the pictures, you can see the soup is a little more brothy than creamy. Today I changed that up a little and added in heavy cream and pureed about 1/3 of the soup in a blender. Wow. It’s just so good.
This soup can be made in about 30 minutes and is a great lunch idea or a late Sunday night supper. We tend to eat heavier at lunch on Sunday and lighter in the evening. This might be one of my go-to light Sunday night suppers.
What Mushrooms to Use for Creamy Mushroom Soup
I personally like the baby bella mushrooms also known as cremini mushrooms. They are meatier, firmer and tastier than white button mushrooms. I also like to add mushroom powder that I purchase at the farmer’s market. It’s a mix of several mushrooms and adds flavor and color.

- m1 1/2 pounds baby bella Mushrooms (or your choice)
