Mushroom Soup
What kind of mushrooms do you love?
I tend to use white button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms. If you have a favourite kind, feel free to use whatever varieties you enjoy!
I have also heard that roasting mushrooms before making the soup takes it to another level of deliciousness – let me know if you try it!

Enjoy Your Soup
There are so many ways to adjust this soup to your liking. Instead of using all oil, feel free to use some butter as well.
Don’t have cream? Try using sour cream! (Just don’t boil the soup after adding sour cream!) You can also make this soup dairy-free by using just oil (no butter) and leaving out the cream or using almond milk instead.
I recently made this soup in a Cook with Me on my YouTube channel!
I love inspiring people to cook using their intuition and trust that they know how to make foods taste good. Follow a recipe once or twice and then feel free to change it up and experiment to make it something that really suits your likes and needs.
I changed it up a little using dehydrated mushroom! I had never done that variation before and it was fun to try something new.
Come cook along with me.
I hope you enjoy this recipe!
