Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • This creamy soup is perfect for cold nights!
  • Soup season is here!
  • Nothing beats the depth of flavor and comfort of this mushroom soup!

Ingredient Notes

  • Mushrooms - Use fresh mushrooms. I usually use cremini mushrooms, but really, you can use any kind of mushroom. White button mushrooms, button mushrooms, white mushrooms, etc...
  • Half and Half - You can find this next to the coffee creamers at the store! It's a half-milk and half-heavy cream blend.
  • Butter - Both unsalted butter and salted butter work for this recipe. Olive oil is tricky to use as a substitute, as this recipe calls for a ยฝ cup of butter. If I were to try and sub-olive Oil, I would use ยผ cup of olive oil.
  • Chicken Broth - I prefer making broth from a good chicken bouillon rather than the granules. You can definitely use vegetable stock or chicken stock instead.
  • Flour - All-purpose flour.
  • White Pepper - If you haven't tried white pepper, I know you will love it! It has a different flavor than black pepper. You can sub-black pepper, though.
Mushrooms, chicken broth, half and half, flour, butter, onion, white pepper
Just a few things you'll need to make this mushroom soup recipe!

How to Make

  • Clean mushrooms, removing any dirt or debris that may be stuck to them. Rough chop them up.
  • Rough chop the onion as well. Since you will be blending this soup up, you will not need to worry about how precise it's chopped.
  • Melt ยฝ cup or 8 tablespoons butter to sizzle in a large soup pot over medium-high heat.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onions.
  • Lightly sautรฉ them until the mushrooms slightly soften and the onions look translucent.
  • Stir in the flour until all the white streaks are gone making a paste.
  • Add the chicken broth a little at a time stirring as you go until all the broth has been added.
  • Simmer until the mushrooms are soft all the way through.  They will be soft but not rubbery.
Saute's mushrooms, add flour and then chicken broth.
Add flour to sautรฉed mushrooms, followed by chicken broth!
  • Remove the pot from the heat for a moment. If you are wanting chunks of mushrooms or large pieces of mushrooms in your finished soup, remove them from the pot and set them aside.
  • Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender, bullet blender, or food processor.
  • Return the blended soup to the pot with any mushroom chunks or pieces you set aside.
  • Turn the stovetop temperature a bit lower than medium heat.
  • Add the slightly warmed half-and-half garlic powder and white pepper.
  • Add salt to taste.
  • Don't allow the soup to come to a boil again. Just heat until hot.
  • Serve a warm bowl of soup with crusty bread!
  • Store soup in an airtight container in the fridge!
Use a hand blender to blend the mushroom soup smoothly.

FAQs and Expert Tips

Does this soup freeze well?

Due to the half-and-half, it doesn't freeze particularly well. It may thaw out grainy.
