How to Make Creamy Mushroom Soup - Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe

[mikelheron]

"Slowly lower in a bundle of thyme". That's where I've been going wrong. Must have lowered the thyme too fast.

I have a few suggestions, one which takes this soup to the next level. Just before adding the onions, add 1/2 cup of dry Marsala wine, and saute the mushrooms until the wine is absorbed - about two to three minutes - and then follow the rest of the recipe up until the blender part. After removing the thyme bundle, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. This saves you having to swap the soup to a blender, and it does a much better job of making the soup smooth and velvety. Then you can add the heavy cream. I often share the recipes I make with friends. I made this soup without the Marsala wine the first time, and my friends said it was really good. When I made it again, with the Marsala wine addition, they said it was "amazing", "awesome", "outstanding", and "the best cream of mushroom soup I have ever had"! The Marsala wine really takes it to the next level! I had one friend liken eating the soup to that of "eating a great steak"! What a compliment! Just wanted to share this little trick with others, as this addition makes an already good recipe,  a great recipe!

The moon! Oh, thank god. I thought were about to say something gross. I stopped eating my Cheerios mid-bite.

Loved this so much that I made it again. This time I added a big splash of Sherry to the mushrooms after they had fully caramelized. And, I remembered to fish out the thyme before blending. This is an A+ soup.

When that sound effect came in, I shat myself... had the volume up way too loud

Chef John: thanks so much for the recipe! I HAVE to try this! I have tried SO many recipes that you prepare. Honestly, Foodwishes has had nearly all the recipes I have wanted to try, and they all turn out fantastic! Examples? Tomato bisque, chicken broth / chicken noodle soup, French baguette, chicken Marsala, Creme Fraiche - to name but a few. My daughter LOVES Panera (Bread Co in Missouri), and she says the tomato bisque and French baguette are better than Panera's! What a compliment! One huge tip you provided for tomato bisque, and I use it for so much now, is the use of an immersion blender. No more removing the soups from the pot, and blending in a blender - the immersion blender is a HUGE work and time-saver! It makes making the soups so much simpler (I intend to use it for this recipe as well)! Thanks so much for all the videos and recipes! You make cooking so easy and fun (you have a great sense of humor in the making of your videos!). I would recommend your videos and Foodwishes.com to anyone.

This is still better than 99% of videos on YT today

You need to lower the thyme with a mini fishing pole for rate of lowering and perfect placement...

I’ve made this three times now and it’s a great success with everyone who’s tried it. 😊 it’s delicious!

I love the way Chef John says "come on" and the context he says it in all his videos! 💕 Like he's your best friend.

Great Soup! I just made it but used milk instead of cream! Really delicious! Thanks from France!

One of theee BEST recipes for this soup ! Adding the marsala wine as stated in the comment, definitely kicks the melding of flavors up !. I did mine with portobellos & cremini mushrooms..used leeks as opposed to onions, combined with the finishing of the excellent yummylishes ❤..

2010, this video only had a few thousand views, Food wishes only had a few thousands of subscribers. Chef John have only improved ever since, thank you for your passionate work

Looks great chef john, and it is sort of odd how different regions of the states, like the consistency of something as simple as soup differ. Here in rural ky. We would maybe blend down 1/2 of the soup into a puree' in a blender, and the the other 1/2 would be kept as is, and then all mixed back together in 1 pot for more texture, but i am going to try your way of blending it all smooth. I have noticed that most states in the western region prefer their soup completely blended smooth.

Great FoodWishes and particularly this recipe. The reason I chose your recipe is because I have used your other recipes and the way you share it suits me fine. Thanks a lot !!

[maryreid]

Thank you for such a delicious and easy recipe. Instead of 1 cup of water I added 1/2 cup of Sherry and just 1/2 cup of water. The wonderful thing about your recipe is that you can play around with it to your own liking and it's still fabulous.

My wife loves cream of mushroom soup! I appreciate this video and cooking directions a lot.

This recipe looks delish! I am going to make it very soon! It may take a little longer to cook, but it's very easy and I'm sure, worth the wait!
