How to Make Wild Mushroom Soup

Wild mushroom soup. What a lovely thought. Wholesome, healthy and very tasty. Simple to make and depending on whether you use the optional butter and stock it can be great for vegetarians and vegans. What a versatile soup. Serve with crusty granary bread and you have a great lunch or appetizer.

Wild mushroom soup

Right then my fine foodie friends, let’s make it…




1. Get the ingredients together

As always, get all the ingredients together ready for cooking. Quite simple here. The only preparation is to finely chop the shallots and make the stock. Remember, if vegetarian or vegan, the stock can be vegetable or just replaced with the equal amount of water. The butter is also optional and extra virgin olive oil can be used instead. I also decided not to add the cream in the end as the soup was just right without it.

Get all of the ingredients together


2. Make the raw soup

To make the raw soup, that is, before blending, first, sweat the shallots off in the oil or butter for around 3 minutes. You do not want to colour them so use a low heat and put the lid on the saucepan to, in effect, steam the shallots.

Once the shallots are softened, add the mushrooms and sweat off for 5 minutes. The, add the sherry and reduce this by half.

Cook the mushrooms for around 5 minutes

And that’s the raw wild mushroom soup done. Now to blend and cook through.



3. Blend and finish the soup

With the raw soup cooked, pour this into an electric blender and blend until smooth and silky. Now, return this to the pot and continue to simmer for 20 minutes.

Blend the soup then return to the pot

If you find any impurities float to the top of the soup just spoon these off and discard.

After 20 minutes of simmering simply season the soup to taste and then it’s ready. I like to garnish the soup for serving with a little-sauteed mushroom but, again, this is your decision.

Also, serve with some crusty granary bread for a tasty and filling winter lunch. Yum!
