Mushroom soup | Cream of mushroom soup

Mushroom soup recipe – Simple, easy, delicious and healthy mushroom soup recipe with step by step photos. I made this few months ago for a weekend brunch along with garlic cheese toast and chilli garlic eggs. I made this from a recipe column of a magazine and it turned out very good. Surprisingly, I have few mushroom recipes in the drafts for a long time, so sharing them.

Mildly flavored with garlic and butter, this mushroom soup tastes very delicious without the use of cream.

Hi. I would like to make easy mushroom soup as it is my first time making it. Can I make it without milk, maida? Would it be ok to keep it simple just with corn, mushrooms, onions and water?

Hi Surbhi
Yes you can skip all of those you said. I have a easier recipe here Sweet corn soup. You can add mushrooms or any other veggies you like.

why did you make arrowroot slurry while you used corn flour slurry in the soup?

Hi Deepa,
Arrowroot powder is a substitute to corn starch. I have used aroowroot powder slurry. It is a typo. I will correct it.

This has been the easiest soup recipe ever and so so delicious. I caramelized the mushrooms instead of boiling them and it came out dark brown and smoky. Beautiful recipe! I’ll feature this on my vlog soon.

This particular soup is perfect set up for a rainy day. I ma surely going to make it in two three days. I had a question, can using organic items effect its taste?
