Creamy Mushroom Soup ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #easy #soup #recipe

A simple mushroom soup that’s wonderfully creamy and delightful and warm.


I had an “aha” moment when I made my Bacon Mushroom Baked Potato Soup … at the point where I had puree’d the mushrooms & onions and such, before I added the potato and milk, that right there was a mighty tasty creamy-wonderful thing. I could have stopped right there and had creamy mushroom bliss.

But I didn’t. I had already baked the potatoes so I went on with my plan, thinking I really must come back to this sometime to make a simple, dreamy mushroom soup. There’s a bonus for those of you who are gluten free as there is no flour for thickener–the vegies and cream cheese are what makes it thick. Add a bit of milk if it’s too thick for your tastes.

I love this because I have a few recipes that call for canned cream of mushroom soup that I’d like to make without as much salt as canned soups have.

Found this on Wine’d Down Wednesday.

Thanks Audrey! I’m so glad you like it … not sure if it will be EXACTLY liked the canned stuff, but then I don’t really think you want it to be! This is REAL food mushroom soup. 🙂
