If you’re looking for an easy, flavorful meal, this recipe is perfect. With just five key ingredients, you’ll create a delightful creamy soup. The secret? There’s no cream involved. We’ll be making mushroom soup using cheese instead. Whether you opt for cream or spreadable cheese, you’ll achieve that rich, creamy consistency. Enhanced by fresh herbs and mushrooms, the flavor and aroma will be irresistible.
Ingredients for Mushroom Cheese Soup:
- 400 g fresh mushrooms, sliced;
- 1 potato, cubed;
- 1 carrot, shredded;
- 4 tbsps. vegetable oil;
- 1 onion, chopped;
- fresh herbs (dill, parsley, basil);
- 250 g cream cheese (or spreadable cheese).
How to cook soup with mushrooms and cream cheese:
- Boil 1.5 liters of water in a pot and add cubed potato. Let it simmer on a medium to low heat while you sauté vegetables.
- Take a skillet and heat the oil in it. Add grated carrot and chopped onion: sauté veggies for 4 minutes on a medium heat.
- In four minutes, add sliced mushrooms, and mix them with carrot and onion. Sauté the mixture for 10 minutes stirring them constantly.
- When you have vegetables ready, add them to simmering potatoes.
- When the soup reboils, add cream cheese. I find it easier to cook cheese when it is shredded (if consistency allows). I use a coarse grater for this.
- Give cheese 5 minutes to melt away in the broth (start calculating the time when water boils again). Adjust the level of salt and pepper to your taste, and sprinkle some chopped fresh herbs. Cover the pot with a lid; take the pot from the heat.
- Before serving let the flavors open up in the broth. And here you have a perfect cheesy mushroom soup!
