You guys! This soup is delicious! Cruz walked in from school just as I finished this soup and was skeptical at the thought of “mushroom soup”. I mean he is 11 ha! He took one bite, paused, raised his eyebrow and said “mom, this is good”. For him, that really equates to a Michelin star.
An umami bomb with loads of mushrooms and white miso stirred in for some added depth. When using miso be sure to adjust your typical seasonings as it is pretty salty on its own, I find.
Typically, mushroom soup Is laden with fat from heavy cream, butter, and oil. I’ve subbed in canned cannellini beans, which get pureed to achieve that creamy texture. As well as a boosting the protein profile of this soup. It’s definitely a hack you want to keep in your repertoire.
For some added texture, I like to saute and crisp up some mushrooms separately to add on top when plating to serve.
It’s surprisingly hearty and perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
If you give it a try, let me know what you think!
A lightened up mushroom soup that is heavy on flavor and makes for a delicious weeknight meal.
