World’s Fastest Fresh Soup Recipe: Cream of Mushroom

World’s Fastest Fresh Soup Recipe: Cream of Mushroom

To blend or not to blend? This fast soup recipe is lightning fast if you don’t…with Bella & Cremini mushrooms, thyme and parmesan cheese, you’re ready!

October is mushroom picking season in my neck of the woods. Even if you don’t have kids, being back in school — with its many open houses and events — affects us all. That’s why I’m dusting off my best crock pot and grab and go snack recipes in the coming weeks, but tonight I’m serving up this golden favorite. Cream of mushroom soup doesn’t have to be blended, and comes together in less than 15 minutes on your stovetop.

Don’t have heavy cream in the fridge? You can substitute with butter and whole milk. But do run to the market if you don’t have thyme. In a pinch, powdered Parmesan cheese works in this dish – and if you’d like to add a splash of red wine, more power to you! I didn’t chop up the Bella or cremini mushrooms as they made for an ampler bite whole.

There’s not a lot to say about this one, other than it’s easy. Wishing all of you, whether there are backpacks in your lives or not, a brilliant school year!
