Creamy Mushroom Soup

Creamy Mushroom Soup is a combo of little white button mushrooms, flavorful cremini mushrooms and coconut cream. Fast and smooth in texture. All you need is a blender.

When I was visiting some of my family in South Lake Tahoe, California we all went to this great little restaurant that served beautiful looking soup.

My niece was saying how delicious their soups were – especially the mushroom soup and the tomato soup.  Guess what we ordered?

When the soups were served I saw that both soups were creamy smooth and everybody was ooohing and ahhhing over the flavors.

Of course, I had to ask if they ever share their recipes.  The answer was a polite ‘no’ but they did say that all of their soups have cream as an important ingredient.   Oops.

You’d think I’d know better by now but my brain is challenged sometimes – especially when my family gets me all excited about a restaurant they like.

But now to the important part.  I got to thinking how I need to create vegetable soups from scratch with soy or coconut cream base.  Creamy Mushroom Soup became my first choice because there aren’t any tomatoes in my garden – yet.

I also thought that little white button mushrooms would be great mixed with flavorful cremini mushrooms.  It would make it heartier and give the soup more depth.  I was right.

Creamy smooth in texture and so very notable.

You won’t forget the flavor.  I hope you can try this recipe because it is also really easy to make.  All you need is a blender.  Yes, I said blender.  So that makes it fun too. 🙂
