This recipe was so good! I processed the soup after adding the mushrooms because my husband requested it and it was awesome!

Delicious and unique mushroom soup recipe. Felt like a chef making it. So so easy to make as well. Adding the cream with egg yolks turned it into a 5 star recipe! This renewed my joy of cooking.

In reply to Amy. Try pasteurized eggs next time, Amy. Nothing to be afraid of that way, using the yolks, either in this recipe or in a custard/ice cream.

Thank you for putting this out here. I browned the onions and mushrooms together, added the flour and simmered them in the stock. It imparted a deep mushroom flavor into the soup. I also reduced the stock by a cup and replaced it with half & half (no eggs). Also, a dash of sherry. It was amazing!

I have made Julia Childs Cream of Mushroom Soup and your recipe is every bit as good and so much easier to make. Thank you for the recipe and like you I did not use eggs and my soup was very creamy.

I made this soup for the first time tonight for dinner. The only ingredient I was not sure of was the heavy cream as in the UK we have single cream, double cream and extra thick double cream. I ended up using double cream and 2 egg yolks as I wanted a really creamy soup. This was also my first time making mushroom soup which I love but never made from scratch before. Well it was super easy to make and the directions are very clear and easy to follow. I used a mixture of mushroom and the soup was absolutely delicious. My husband loved it and said it reminded him of soup he had in a French restaurant years ago. I would make this for a dinner party without any hesitation as it has such big flavour and looks so beautiful in the bowel. This is going to be one of my new favourite go to recipes – Thank you for for posting such a yummie easy to make soup that really delivers.

It was just perfect. I used 2 egg yolks and the thickness was just luscious. I also used some caramelized chanterelles along with porcini’s and a 1/4 C of dry sherry added to the broth. Love your alterations also, keeping the onions and stems. Wonderful for a chilly evening.

My family loved the soup. Thanks for sharing the recipe. No egg yolk required, just a dash of cream to give the soup a touch more creaminess (a personal preference)
