- And saute for a minute or two. Keep stirring during this.
- Add unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk here.
- Let it simmer for 2 - 3 minutes with continuous stirring.
- Now blend it to a smooth puree using a hand blender (or in a blender jar).
- Dilute with additional milk as per the required consistency.
- Simmer the mixture for another 2 minutes.
- If using a blender jar, transfer to the pot once the mixture is pureed well and simmer.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Now add the cream (dairy or non dairy) and give a stir to mix.
- It will reach a thicker consistency now. Simmer for a minute and then remove from heat.
- Add a swirl of cream and the reserved pieces of fried mushrooms. Serve hot.
Notes
- If you are using a regular mixer grinder, then cool the mushroom mixture completely before blending else it will burst with hot air pressure.
- Can skip the onions completely.
- For spiciness, you can use green chili or black pepper, or cayenne pepper.
- Add almond flour for a healthier option.
- Add different varieties of mushrooms to your mushroom soup.
- Can skip adding flour and milk by substituting them with broth. This helps if you are making it completely keto soup with a lot of creams added to it.
