Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup

Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup is savory comfort food loaded with cremini mushrooms in a creamy soup. 

Tastes much better than canned!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

Fairly easy to make with simple ingredients.

Original recipe by Food.com.  My twist is the addition of dried thyme instead of a minced garlic clove.  Also increased the amount of chopped onions.

The recipe’s wonderful reviews, inspired me to give it a try.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces crimini mushrooms cleaned and sliced (about 2 cups)
  • 1/4 cup chopped onions (optional)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced or use 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose "sifted" flour divided
  • 2 cups fresh chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk or evaporated milk or use half and half
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt more or less as preferred
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper more or less as preferred
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried sage or use dried nutmeg

Method
 

  1. Melt unsalted butter in a large saucepan over low-medium heat. Melt butter in large frying pan. Add sliced mushrooms, onions (if using) and garlic (or use thyme). Cook until onions are soft.
  2. Add all-purpose flour and the "hot" chicken broth. The hot chicken broth will prevent clumping. Stir mixture until well combined.
  3. Reduce heat to low. Simmer 15-20 minutes OR until desired thickness.
  4. Add evaporated milk, salt, coarse ground black pepper and thyme. Stir until well combined.
  5. Simmer 5 to 10 more minutes OR until desired thickness.
  6. Serve hot.
