The key to this soup is to combine different mushrooms/textures. Use as many kinds as you like, just keep it to 2 pounds. I make this often when I need some good old comfort food.

How To Make cream of mushroom soup - better than a can!!

  • 1
    Melt butter in soup pot over medium heat. Add onions, salt & pepper. Saute onions until soft. Add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes.
  • 2
    Add flour, a bit at a time, stirring as you do to prevent lumps.
  • 3
    Add broth, a bit at a time, stirring to prevent lumps. After enough broth has been added to make everything liquid, add the remaining broth.
  • 4
    Bring to a boil, reduce to low heat and simmer for 5 minutes. This will allow the flour to thicken the soup.
