We are in the middle of the Spring, and I was getting all ready for light meal, but the sudden change in weather and all the unpredictable rainy days got me craving for soup and my no-knead bread.
Why you will love this Mushroom Soup
The recipe doesn’t call for all different varieties of assorted mushroom, just a mix of white button mushroom and brown mushroom. My family loves button mushroom, and we make it various different ways, like this quick Mushroom Masala. You can definitely add your choice of other mushrooms too and make it more flavorful and exotic. The cilantro oil on top adds a lovely, refreshing zing to the soup that you will absolutely love. Mushroom soup doesn’t have the most appealing color or texture, but if you enjoy the flavor of mushroom, you are sure to enjoy this rustic creamy soup.
Ingredients for the Creamy Garlic Mushroom Soup
Mushroom - Your choice of mushroom. I keep it simple with either a mix of white and brown mushroom or just brown mushroom. The brown mushroom definitely has more rustic flavor and is always my first choice. Garlic - I can never have enough garlic in this mushroom soup. You can choose to add less, but it does enhance the taste of the soup. Onion - I do prefer using either yellow or white onion while making this soup, but someday all I have in red onion, and so I use that instead. Chicken/Vegetable Stock, Chicken/Vegetable Bullion Powder - Using the stock or the powder adds a bunch load of flavor instantly. You definitely need to check if the stock or the powder already has salt in it and season the soup separately accordingly. The exact measurement is mentioned in the recipe card below.

How to prepare the Garlic Mushroom Soup ?
The Creamy Mushroom soup is my favorite, mainly because it is so easy and quick to prepare. 3. To the pan add the rest of the garlic, onion and mushroom. You can add a bit more butter or oil if it gets dry. Fry for a while. 4. Add the flour. This will help to create a creamy, thick texture of the soup. 5. Add Chicken bullion powder for flavor. You can discard this if you don’t have and substitute with some dry herbs. 6. Add water and let it simmer for a while. Since the chicken bullion I added already has salt, I didn’t add extra. You have to adjust the salt accordingly. 7. Blend the soup using a hand blender or a stand blender. 8. Pour some cream and mix it around. 9. Prepare the cilantro oil by blending oil and fresh cilantro leaves with little salt. The cilantro oil can be used in various other soups too. Try on the creamy cauliflower soup 10. Pour the creamy garlic soup in a bowl, garnish with sliced mushroom and garlic, Drizzle cilantro oil on top and enjoy! Drizzle extra heavy cream too. The soup can be made in advanced and stored in the fridge. It is easy to just warm and serve. It’s so creamy with subtle flavor of garlic. With a few slices of garlic bread or your choice of bread, it’s a meal I can go for any day. One of my absolute favorite soup.
