This homemade mushroom soup is absolutely amazing, better than any canned soup with fresh thyme and shallots – it’s easy to make and the flavor is amazing.

I’ve never really cared for canned soups, I use them in casserole recipes I grew up with, but never EVER just open a can and heat up soup. I’m also not a huge fan of mushrooms, it’s a texture thing, but I love the flavor of mushrooms, so 6 years ago, when this blog was brand new, I decided to experiment. Seeing if I could make a substitute for Cream of mushroom soup I could use in recipes.

I love love LOVE this soup, but it isn’t a substitute for cream of mushroom.  It’s not quite thick enough, and it’s a bit too delicate for casseroles.  BUT by itself it tastes AMAZING.  In fact a few years ago I tried out a new local restaurant, La Jolla Groves, and DIED over this mushroom soup they have as a starter.  Then I remembered this recipe! I hadn’t made it in years, so I pulled it out again and was thrilled.  It was just as good as I remembered.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs white mushrooms
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 4 Tbsp minced shallots
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 4 C heavy whipping cream
  • 3 C chicken stock
  • 2 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 Tbsp water
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a food processor coarsely chop mushrooms and lemon juice.
  • Melt butter in sauce pan and lightly saute shallots on med heat.
  • Add mushrooms, thyme and bay leaf. Saute over low/med heat for 10-15 mins, until the liquid that is released from the mushrooms disappears.
  • Add salt, pepper, cream and chicken stock, bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 20 mins.
  • At this stage I like to take a few cups of the soup at a time and run it through my blender to smooth it out a bit, but it's optional.
  • Add dissolved cornstarch and simmer another 10 mins
  • Stirring constantly, add more seasonings and lemon juice to taste.
  • Top with some olive oil, fresh thyme and or paprika (mostly to add color, it's not a pretty soup)

    This is the BEST cream of mushroom soup I’ve ever had. I did thicken it with a bit more flour than the recipe called for as I like a thicker cream of mushroom soup, but other than that, I wouldn’t change a thing. Definitely making this again and again.
