How to Make Creamy Mushroom Soup Step-by-Step
This soup comes together easily in just one pot.
Step 1: Sauté the aromatics
Cook onions and garlic in butter until soft and fragrant. Add in the chopped carrots as well and saute until soft.
Step 2: Add the mushrooms
Sauté until tender and lightly golden to bring out their natural richness.
Step 3: Pour in the broth
Simmer to develop flavor and create the soup base. Because this is a mushroom soup without flour, the creaminess comes naturally from the mushrooms and optional blending — no roux required.
Step 4: Add the potatoes
Peel and chop gold Yukon potatoes into 1-inch cubes and add into your soup.
Step 5: Add the cream and herbs
Stir in cream at the end for that signature silky finish and garnish with fresh chopped dill. Do a taste test and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Easy Variations Using Pantry Ingredients
This recipe is flexible and easy to customize:
- Dairy-Free → Swap cream for coconut milk
- Heartier Option → Add diced potatoes
- Protein Boost → Add shredded chicken
- Herb Swap → Use thyme or parsley
These small tweaks allow you to make this soup your own while still keeping it simple.
Storage Guidelines
This creamy mushroom soup stores beautifully, making it ideal for leftovers or meal prep.
Refrigerator:
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezer:
Freeze for up to 3 months (freeze before adding cream for best texture).
