Today we cook together my fine mushroom soup recipe. We can buy the mushrooms all year round in the supermarket and a great soup warms the stomach and is good for the soul.
On which occasion would you like to serve this cream soup? Perhaps you would like to serve it as a light dinner or when guests come instead of a classic starter with salad? I would be very happy if you leave us a message at the end of the page using the comment function. Of course I will also answer your cooking questions. Maybe you also find it exciting to share your ideas and let us all participate here 🙂
Now let’s ask ourselves how to conjure up the finest cream of mushroom soup on the table and the plate. For this purpose I have put together many photos and all my tips here in a guide. I wish you a lot of fun while reading and good luck later in the kitchen!

Before the story, I want to make it practical for you and put a small overview of the ingredients at the top. Maybe you are driving through the supermarket and don’t want to scroll down to the recipe. Here is the overview…
Shopping list mushroom cream soup for 2 persons, for your supermarket rally
500 g of mushrooms: —> Please use white mushrooms, the soup will be lighter.
Two pieces of shallots: ———> Shallots are finer in taste and harmonize better with mushrooms!
A little clove of garlic: ———> If one could discuss, it gives depth to the taste.
White wine: ————————————> Please use dry white wine or Prosecco.
Vegetable broth: ——————————-> Diced or organic broth as well as self-cooked.
Cream: ——————————————> You can use cow’s milk cream or soy cream.
Salt: ————————> Use unpurified primal salt, which contains 80+ minerals and is healthy.
White pepper nutmeg and cayenne pepper, bay leaf: ——> For the special taste.
Cornflour: ———–> To thicken the soup so that the soup has the status “creamy”.
Lemon peel: ————-> Very little… conjures magic on the tongue!
Optional mushroom powder:—> The absolute, kicks the taste buds into gourmet heaven!
Mushrooms are also called Egerlinge. For the soup I take the white mushrooms, as decoration a brown Egerling would be very suitable!
Ingredients note from cook Thomas Sixt
Next, a little story to get into the right mood in the kitchen:
I can still remember my first months at the vegetable station in the kitchen of Alfons Schuhbeck. We cooked the “Gangerl” fresh every day. At that time, the soup on the menu of the Kurhausstüberl in Waging am See was described as a small course.
The restaurant had one star in the Guide Michelin and 19 points in the gourmet guide Gault Millau Germany. It was an exciting time and we spent most of 14 hours in the kitchen.
Peppi Kalteis was my chief of post at that time. An excellent cook who prepared the various delicacies with me in a very calm and calm manner. The mushroom soups were always prepared with dried mushroom powder. Actually, it is like making tea, only much more flavorful.
Mushroom powder is not an ingredient you get in the supermarket. Therefore we make a detour or simply use much more fresh mushrooms for this preparation.
Dried mushroom powder would be the first choice for preparing the soup. Alternatively use lots of fresh mushrooms!

Instruction
Prepare muffins
Muffin ingredients
Place all the ingredients for the solid muffins in a bowl.
Muffins dough
Mix the dough with the kneading hooks of the hand mixer.
Baking muffins
Put the dough into muffin paper cups and fill them into the muffin cups.
Decorate with caraway, sesame and tomatoes as desired.
Then bake at 180°C hot air for about 30 minutes.
Then test the muffin with a needle and when no more dough sticks to the stick, prepare the muffin for serving.
Prepare Soup
Soup base
Put one or two nice mushrooms aside for decoration.
Chop the rest of the mushrooms, dice the shallots or cut them into strips, slice the garlic and put all the ingredients with the butter and bay leaf into the pot and sauté for 15 minutes until transparent.
Pour on soup
Add white wine to the soup.
Pour in the broth and bring to the boil.
Let the cream slowly run into the boiling liquid so that it does not flocculate.
Let the soup simmer slightly for 20 minutes.
Lemon peel
Add really little, finely grated lemon peel, season the soup with salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne pepper.
Mix soup
Remove the bay leaf. Mix the soup with the hand blender and let the flavor ripen for 10 minutes.
Seven soup
Pass the soup through a fine hair sieve and squeeze the mushroom pomace well with a ladle to extract the last flavors into the liquid.
Soup binding
Boil the soup that has passed through.
Depending on the consistency of the soup, thicken with cornflour mixed in cold water:
To do this, pour 100 ml of cold water into a beaker and stir in the starch.
Gradually add the starch liquid to the boiling soup and bind until the desired consistency is achieved.
Then let it boil for another 2 minutes.
Decoration
Prepare the decoration:
–> Wash the fresh herbs, dry them and cut them finely.
–> Slice the mushrooms very thinly.
–> I use a truffle slicer for this.
Serve soup
Season the soup again just before serving.
Mix with the ice-cold butter until frothy and arrange in hot soup plates.
Decorate mushroom slices and herbs and serve with the lukewarm muffins.
Herb Tip:
Depending on the season, this soup goes with wild garlic, chives, lovage, thyme or parsley.
