I’m already experiencing temperatures within the 50’s and 60’s right the following in Nashville and it’s got me in FULL BLOWN fall-mode. I’m able for comfy sweaters, campfires, and SOUP. Creamy mushroom soup has been on my “to make” record for years and now that I even have entry to cheap mushrooms (thank you, Aldi) I decided to cross for it. This Creamy Garlic Mushroom Soup was prosperous with out being too heavy, and oh so delightfully earthy. I mean pairing it with a good crusty bread to absorb all that creamy goodness, like a loaf of No-Knead Bread.

WHAT KIND OF MUSHROOMS SHOULD I USE FOR MUSHROOM SOUP?
I used Baby Bella mushrooms for this Creamy Garlic Mushroom Soup simply due to the fact they’re nonetheless at the cheap edge in contrast to most mushrooms, but they supply extra taste and colour than a white button mushroom. Thankfully those child portobella mushrooms are fitting actually accepted and I’ve viewed them at a number of grocery shop chains.

BROTH MATTERS
For the broth I used vegetable flavored Better Than Bouillon to make the broth used on this soup, but you might definitely use their mushroom taste when you've got it. Their vegetable broth does have a moderately varied flavor, though, so I used half broth and half water to avoid overpowering the mushroom flavor. I discover that Better than Bouillon broths have a tendency to be fairly solid in flavor, so if you’re utilizing a special model you might desire to growth your broth to water ratio.

NOTES
*I use Better Than Bouillon to make my broth.
**You can use half and half as an alternative of heavy cream, but your soup can be much less rich.
