Its creamy and rich texture, with the seasoning of herbs, makes it more delicious.

Mushroom soup can be either a clear broth or an earthy brown stock and is typically flavored with thyme, parsley, and garlic.

There are many different ways to make mushroom soup, but the most common ingredients are mushrooms, onions, butter, flour, and chicken or beef stock. Some recipes also call for cream, white wine, or sherry.

Mushroom soup is typically served with bread or crackers on the side. It can also be used as a sauce for pasta or rice dishes.

 

Are mushrooms allowed on the keto diet?

A thumb rule to follow when choosing your keto diet food – avoid carbs.

Mushrooms are very low in carbohydrates and fats, which makes them an ideal choice for keto recipes.

Also, they are rich in potassium, magnesium, zinc, and folate. They are a good source of fiber as well.

So we can count on the nutritional value of mushrooms, and how healthy and good it is for our health.

 

How to choose the right mushrooms for keto cream or mushroom soup?

You can use any type of mushroom for this soup – cremini, portobello, or canned.

I prefer using white button mushrooms as they are easy to clean and store.

You can also use a mix of mushrooms here by choosing 2-3 different types of mushrooms.

Just to keep one thing in mind while buying your mushrooms – the darker the gills, the more mature and flavourful your mushroom will be.

Yes, you can store creamy mushroom soup, though the life of mushroom soup is less compared to others.

It is true that the cream can separate from the rest of the liquid during freezing, but the color and texture should return to normal upon thawing.

1. Cool down the soup completely before storing it. Add salt to preference.
2. Put it in an airtight container and you can refrigerate it for up to 4 days. Reheat it when needed.
3. You can freeze it for 4 weeks. Bring it to room temperature before reheating.
