    This quick and easy mushroom soup is made with just seven ingredients but the depth of flavour will make your taste buds think that a whole grocery aisle is in the pot. This Mushroom soup is creamy, but it doesn't have any cream! Instead, it has a béchamel base that is added to the mushroom and stock mix.

    Can I freeze this?

    No. Don't do it. I don't think any milk based soups do well frozen.

    Can I make this mushroom soup with out flour?

    I would recommend looking for a gluten free mushroom soup recipe to achieve the best results. There are a few ways you can make this soup gluten free. I would skip the butter and flour and add the milk into the mushroom stock and then make a slurry out of cornstarch to thicken the soup. I haven't tried this with this exact recipe but in my head it should work fine. Let me know in the comments if you try this!

    Can I use another mushroom instead of white ones?

    Not all mushrooms are the same. You are going to get completely different flavours and intensity of flavours if you use a different mushroom. With that said use whatever you have and see how she goes! White mushrooms are very mild so if you're using a more intense mushroom then you can use less mushrooms and still achieve a flavourful soup.

    Can I use Dehydrated Mushrooms?

    Same answer as above. Totally doable and will yield a delicious soup, just know you are likely going to need a lot less than 3 cups worth.

    Can I use canned mushrooms?

    Please don't. They have a completely different flavour and will not yield a good soup. You know, if you LOVE canned mushrooms and want your soup to taste like that then do it. But, don't expect it to taste anywhere near as good as soup made with fresh mushrooms.

    Can I use a different milk?

    I haven't tried this but there are many similar recipes that use almond, oat and coconut milk in place of cow milk. Please let me know in the comments if you've made this substitution and what your thoughts are.

    • In a medium sized pot, on medium heat: Melt the butter and then sprinkle in the flour. Stir to combine.

    Notes

    I use beef stock as I find it pairs best with he earthy mushrooms. You can use any stock though: chicken, vegetable, mushroom etc.
