Tips for the Best Mushroom Soup

Choose fresh mushrooms for the best flavor and texture. Cremini mushrooms can be used instead of white mushrooms for a deeper, more savory taste.

Blend the soup thoroughly to achieve a silky-smooth consistency. An immersion blender works best and makes cleanup easier.

Adjust the thickness by adding a little more water if the soup becomes too thick after blending.

For extra flavor, garnish with hemp hearts, fresh parsley, shredded cheese, or sautéed mushrooms before serving.
