Tell Me About This Cream Of Mushroom Soup

This is, by far, my favorite homemade cream of mushroom soup recipe. I've easily served this over 100 times by now not only because of it's easy but it's the most satisfying and comforting recipes. And, most important, this soup is made in just 1 pot!

There are 3 levels of flavors in the soup— (1) sautéing the mushrooms, onions, garlic, and spices, (2) the white whine and (3) letting the soup simmer.

Cream Of Mushroom Soup Ingredients

• Mushrooms: We're using a lot of mushrooms in this recipe. You can use any type of mushroom— I use baby bella mushrooms because they are my favorite and I typically always have them in the refrigerator.
• Onion: You can either use any type of white onion or even shallots.
• Garlic, Thyme, Parsley & Sage: I prefer the taste of fresh herbs and spices, but you can use dried if that's all you have. See the recipes notes for the adjustments.
• Flour: The flour is what makes the "roux" to thicken the soup. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour, that when liquid is added to it, it thickens it and creates the perfect texture.
• White Wine: The white whine adds not only another depth of flavor but also helps lift the bits of flavor from the bottom of the pan from sautéing the mushrooms and onions.
• Chicken Broth: You can use either chicken, beef or vegetable stock. I normally have either chicken or vegetable stock in the pantry so that's my go-to.
• Heavy Cream: Add some heavy cream at the end helps take the creaminess to the next level.

Just 4 Steps To Make This Soup!

1. Sauté the Mushrooms, Onions & Garlic: For the most flavor, we're sautéing the mushrooms, onion and garlic in butter. You want to cook these until soft and the mushrooms release moisture. This will take about 10 minutes. It might look like you need to add liquid, but don't!
2. Whisk in the Flour: Once the mushrooms release liquid, whisk in the flour. Let it cook for a 2-3 minutes to let the flour taste cook out.
3. Add the White Wine & Chicken Broth: Start by whisking in the wine, then add the chicken stock.
4. Stir in the Heavy Cream: Once the soup thickens, add in the heavy cream and let it simmer for a few minutes.
