Cream Of Mushroom Soup Recipe (Krem Supa Od Gljiva)
Cream of
mushroom soup is just what it sounds: a comforting creamy soup popular
across cultures for its smoothness and depth of taste.
Today’s recipe is a simple one. This soup is not very original, nor is it too much different than most cream of mushroom recipes out there. But it’s versatile and smooth, and it deserves a place on a dining table, especially on a rainy day.
I simplified this one as much as I possibly could. I bought some vegetable stock because I was too lazy to make some, and even used the blender for the last step. No flour needed. No roux. Nothing. (If you want to make some of your own stock)
As the main ingredient I got some cremini mushrooms, which it turns out, are baby portabellas. You can adjust everything to your liking for this one, especially mushrooms. Try shiitake, or actual grown up portabellas.
Just a few ingredients, 30 minutes, and some chips and you are in for a very filling lunch. And if you are in a mushroom mood, but for something less creamy, you can go for the non-creamy mushroom soup from Herzegovina, mushroom goulash, and drunken mushroom risotto.
