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.

How to make mushroom soup
1. Take 1.5 tbsp organic or unbleached corn starch or arrowroot powder in a bowl. I have used 1.5 tbsp arrowroot powder.
2. Add ¾ cup water and make a lump free mixture. Set this aside.
3. Add butter and melt it in a pot. Saute garlic until aromatic.
4. Add onions and saute until they turn pale or pink.
5. Add mushrooms and saute.
6. Saute until 6 to 7 mins.
7. Add water.
8. Lower the flame and cook covered.
9. When the mushrooms are soft cooked add salt.
10. Add slurry little by little stirring well to prevent lumps.
11. Cook until it thickens.
12. Add half to 3/4 cup milk. You can also use vegan milk. I used raw almond milk made from 22 blanched almonds. Switch off.
13. Stir well. Add pepper powder.
Serve hot or warm.

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?
swasthi says
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.
deepa ravi says
why did you make arrowroot slurry while you used corn flour slurry in the soup?
swasthi says
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.
swasthi says
Thanks for trying sahana. Will surely share your tip in the post.

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?
