Mushroom soup is a comforting dish made primarily from mushrooms, onions, garlic, broth, and cream, offering an earthy flavor and smooth texture. It is often seasoned with thyme, salt, and pepper. Cream soups, like mushroom soup, use cream, milk, or half-and-half as a key ingredient, which may be added at the end of cooking. The origin of mushroom soup can be traced back to France and Italy centuries ago, evolving from creamy white sauces like Béchamel and Salsa colla. Various types of mushrooms, such as Swiss brown, white button, shiitake, and portobello, can be used to enhance the flavor of the soup.
