Helpful Tips & Tricks

  • Choose good quality mushrooms. Since they are the star of the dish, look for baby bella (or crimini and portobello) that are firm, smooth, and plump, and don't appear dried out.
  • Cut the vegetables to a uniform size. To aid in even cooking, make sure that the potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms are cut to a similar size. This also helps get everything on each spoonful.
  • Don't forget the flour slurry.This slurry adds starchiness to the soup that will thicken it up and make it nice and hearty. It also brings the other ingredients together.
  • Add the dill in the last step.Waiting until the end gives the soup a kick of fresh herbaceous flavor and also some nice color. Adding it too early will minimize this.

Variations to this Recipe

  • Add vegetables. You can also make this recipe with the addition of celery, spinach, bell peppers, broccoli, or cauliflower.
  • Add seasonings. Make this Hearty Mushroom Soup with cilantro, basil, parsley, ground coriander, curry powder, onion powder, or cumin.
  • Make it creamy. Add melted butter, heavy cream, or Greek yogurt to this soup to give it a creamy base.
  • Add protein. Make this even more hearty with some sausage, chicken, bacon, or clams. You can also add tofu or beans.
