cream of mushroom soup recipe – beginning the new year with a soup recipe. soups make rare appearances on my blog. but when they do, i make sure they are equally good. so when you guys make them at home, you are able to enjoy them as much as we do.

i generally don't make creamy soups from any veggie. most of the times i end up making our family favorites  - tomato soup and sweet corn soup. for the first time i made this cream of mushroom soup. it was a hit with us and also with our neighbors.

i checked a lot of recipes online and could not make up my mind. there were many many ways this recipe is made. since i am kind of purist when it comes to food, i searched on wikipedia. i have followed the basic way the cream of mushroom is made using my own proportions with just a slight alteration in the technique. instead of adding the cooked mushrooms to the soup, i have sauted the mushrooms first and then made the whole soup in one pot.

this is a one pot soup. hence an easy and quick way of making cream of mushroom soup. the result was a creamy smooth soup comforting in the winters. i paired the soup with peas pulao and a vegetable salad.

to make the roux (flour and butter cooked together), i have used whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour/maida. both of them help in thickening in the soup and you can use the one which you prefer. chicken stock is not used in this recipe. you can use veg stock instead of water if you have it at home.

at home, we all love mushrooms. so, there are many mushroom recipes on the blog like kadai mushroom, palak mushroom, methi mushroom or mushroom peas curry. i often add mushroom in pulaos and biryanis.

if you are looking for more soup recipes then do check, palak soup, bottle gourd soup, spring onion soup and carrot tomato soup.
