Here, you'll find one way of how to cook mushrooms that makes a soup that is so delicious. It's made from scratch but really is easy.

Want super quick and easy? Below this recipe, you'll to find a link to a soup that uses both fresh mushrooms and canned soup?!?

It's my Mutti's creation of one of her best quick and easy soup recipes. Absolutely delicious and nutritious as well. But first, take a look at my cream of mushroom soup recipe and see how easy it is.

A bit of this and a bit of that ...

• Add a swirl of whipping cream (heavy cream) to each bowl.
• Cooking mushrooms this way by chopping them finely and simmering them is great for those who don't like the 'mushroom feel' in their mouth, but like the flavour.
• Vegetarian? Use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.
• Use a good quality chicken stock or, if you go vegetarian, use a vegetable stock. Don't have that available, then use water and bouillon cubes. Works great as well.

Looking for a creamy vegan mushroom soup?

My vegan daughter-in-law, Sylvie, created this absolutely deliciously satisfying creamy vegan mushroom soup, shown above. Garnished with freshly grated nutmeg, and voilà ... a German twist to her new favorite. Do check it out, even if you're not vegan.

Check out this homemade mushroom soup that I learned from my Mutti. She used canned soup .... YES, CANNED CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP .... and FRESH mushrooms for this ... and it tastes fantastic!

Some Mushroom Facts

Did you know that mushrooms are a great source of B vitamins, such as riboflavin and niacin.

What a great way to include these nutrients in your soup.
