TraditionalCreamMushroomsThe soup usually uses fresh white mushrooms, also known asButton mushroomsand making soup with these mushrooms is the best way to enjoy them.Mushroom soupThe cream and mushroom soup uses these fresh white mushrooms.

When buying white mushrooms, be sure to check if they are fresh—

If the stems feel firm and don't easily break, and if the underside of the mushroom cap has a layer of white membrane, then it is a fresh white mushroom.

If the stems are easily broken by hand, and if you can clearly see dark, radial grids on the underside of the mushroom cap (the radial grids of fresh white mushrooms are light in color and are hidden beneath the white membrane), then this white mushroom is no longer fresh.

Before making the mushroom soup, first wash and dry the selected white mushrooms, then cut the stems into slices, and then cut the mushroom caps into slices.

Those who don't mind the extra work can also cut some mushrooms into slices and use the rest as mushroom puree (after the soup is cooked, add the mushroom puree first, then add the mushroom slices).People who don't mind the trouble can chop some of the mushrooms into pieces and use the rest as mushroom puree (add mushroom puree to the cooked soup first, then add the mushroom pieces).
