What mushrooms to use in an easy cream of mushroom soup

You can use any mushrooms you happen to have. As you will see in the photo above, I have made a button mushroom soup here. This is what I would usually use as I tend to have some in my fridge.

However, I have also made it with dark gilled mushrooms, and you could experiment with any other kind of mushrooms you have.

What stock to use in a creamy mushroom soup

As with any soup, the best mushroom soup flavor will come from a good flavored stock.

As with most of my recipes, I usually use a homemade chicken bone broth to make this simple mushroom soup recipe. I use this as it always tastes great, and it is full of amazing nutrients.

However, as always, you can use any stock you have - vegetable stock, store-bought stock or even a stock cube. Just be mindful that the stock is important for flavor.

Do I need to blend my mushroom soup?

You don't have to blend the soup if you don't want to. I know some people prefer the pieces of mushroom in the soup.

However, I do think blending the soup helps to infuse the flavor throughout the soup and makes it even tastier, so I definitely recommend it.

If you are going to blend the soup in a blender, ensure you allow it to cool a some first and use a tea towel over the blender lid to avoid burns from spills. You can easily re-heat it again afterwards if necessary.

I blend mine in my Thermomix, so it can go in straight in hot from the pan.

Can you freeze mushroom soup?

You can freeze this soup. However, for the best results, I recommend freezing it before you add the cream and lemon juice.

So I would blend it up first, then freeze it. Then when you re-heat it you can add in the cream and lemon after it is hot.
