Creamy Mushroom Soup

Furthermore, I would like to share some of my suggestions for making creamy mushroom soup. Firstly, try to buy good quality of mushrooms. Mushrooms are fresh if they are firm and plump. Also, avoid slimy or spotted mushrooms. The gills on the underside of the button mushrooms should be tightly closed.

They grow low to the ground and tend to still be a bit dirty when sold in the market. So use a damp cloth or paper towel to wipe each mushroom. Then you can lightly rinse the mushrooms with cool water and pat dry with paper towels, but don’t soak the mushrooms. Because they absorb water.

Finally, reserve some cooked mushrooms for garnishing. So don’t use the fresh one. Adding coriander leaves gives a nice aroma and also it is wonderfully rich in iron.
