Notes

  • As with other types of homemade cream of soups, continuously whisk the soup mixture over low heat to achieve a smooth flavor and consistency.
  • Add the cooked and cooled cream of mushroom to a food processor for a minute or two if you want a completely smooth texture.
  • How to store. Make a double batch of this soup and keep refrigerated in a mason jar or similar for up to a week (freeze for up to 4 months). The mixture will separate but after reheating and thoroughly whisking will return to the initial texture. Add a little milk if needed along the way.
