Ingredients You Will Need
To make Suzanne Somers’ mushroom soup, you’ll need the following ingredients: 1 pound of fresh mushrooms (such as cremini or button), 1 medium onion finely chopped, 2 cloves garlic minced, 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth, 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option), 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter, salt and pepper to taste, and fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for garnish. Gather these items before you begin cooking to ensure a smooth preparation process.
Preparing the Mushrooms
Start by cleaning your mushrooms thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a paper towel before slicing them into thin pieces. Heat the olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent—this usually takes about five minutes. Next, add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the pot; cook until the mushrooms are soft and have released their moisture—approximately another five minutes.
Building Flavor with Broth
Once your mushrooms are cooked down nicely, it’s time to build flavor by adding broth. Pour in your vegetable or chicken broth while stirring gently to combine all ingredients. Increase heat until the mixture reaches a gentle boil; then reduce heat again to simmer for about 10-15 minutes. This allows all of those wonderful flavors from mushrooms and onions to meld together beautifully.
Creamy Finish
After simmering, remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly before blending if you prefer a creamier texture. Use an immersion blender directly in the pot if you have one; otherwise transfer batches to a standard blender but be careful with hot liquids. Blend until smooth (or leave some chunks if desired) then return it back into your pot over low heat and stir in heavy cream or coconut milk along with salt and pepper according to taste.
Serving Suggestions
To serve Suzanne Somers’ famous mushroom soup perfectly, ladle it into bowls while garnishing with freshly chopped herbs like thyme or parsley on top for an aromatic touch. It pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or topped on grilled cheese sandwiches—a delightful comfort food combination that everyone will enjoy. Don’t forget that leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days—though we doubt it will last that long.
