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.

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.
