This mushroom soup is creamy, cozy, comforting, and bursting with mushroom flavor! Make this in one pot, and it's ready in 30 minutes. This can be made on weeknights for a quick meal.
This mushroom soup is creamy and delicious, easy to make in less time, and a one-pot dish makes life so good, especially when we need something comforting for dinner time.
I wanted to make this soup creamy, so I made a roux, also by adding cream, but if you want to skip cream, then once the soup is cooked, take out half of the soup in a blender, cool it, and blend it till smooth. This will add creaminess to the soup, too.
Serving this soup with a baguette or any toasted bread is so good!

Mushroom Soup Ingredients
You will need the following ingredients:- Mushrooms: Cremini or baby bella are the perfect choice of mushrooms for this soup. But you can also use a mix of cremini and white button mushrooms.
- Thyme / Parsley / Sage / Bay Leaf: Adds so much flavor to the soup.
- All Purpose Flour: Making a roux is necessary to get the thickness to the soup.
- Cream: If you like creamy soup, then you can add whole cream/half-and-half.
- Chicken Broth: To add flavor to the soup, chicken broth or even vegetable broth is necessary.
How to make cream of mushroom soup
Step 1: Clean mushrooms and slice them. Chop the onion finely. Mince garlic. Keep this aside.Step 2: Melt butter in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onions, and sauté until the onions are soft. Add mushrooms to the pan and saute further till mushrooms start to release liquid and start getting cooked.
Step 3: Add flour to this and stir well till the flour is mixed well with the vegetables.
Step 4: Once the vegetables turn brownish, add the broth to the pan and stir well.
Step 5: Add bay leaf and all the dry spices except sage, and let it come to a boil. Let this mixture boil for at least 10 minutes.
Step 6: Fish out the bay leaf from the soup and discard.
Step 7: Reduce the heat now, and add cream to the pan. Mix well. Check salt and pepper.
Step 8: Add sage and let it simmer for 5 more minutes. Serve with toasted sourdough or grilled cheese.
What to serve with mushroom soup
You can enjoy this soup with a Strawberry Spinach Salad, Grilled Peach Salad, or with Kale SaladTips to make homemade cream of mushroom soup:
- I have used butter in this recipe, as it gives a nice, deep, comforting buttery flavor to the soup. You can also use olive oil instead.
- Using cremini mushrooms is what I prefer, but you can use white button mushrooms in this recipe if you can't find cremini.
- If you do not like cream, then to make the soup creamy, scoop out half the soup, let it slightly cool off, grind it to a smooth puree, and add it back to the soup. This will make the soup creamy without cream.
- Sage gives that amazing flavor to this recipe, tryit and you will love!
- You can store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Heat in the microwave or over the stove top.
- Freeze this soup in a freezer-safe container, up to 1 month. I do not recommend using anything out of the freezer longer than a month, as I feel it loses its flavor and texture. You have to thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before heating.
