Low Fat Creamy Mushroom Soup
Description
The Low Fat Creamy Mushroom Soup starts by blending cold water with flour to create a smooth base that thickens as it cooks. Fresh sliced shiitake and baby bella mushrooms, along with a celery stalk for subtle vegetal flavor, are added to this base. Chicken bouillon cubes or powder enhance the savory profile while optional light butter adds a modest richness. The mixture is brought to a boil, then simmered until vegetables are tender.
After simmering, the celery and some soup are blended until smooth to achieve a creamy consistency without cream. The pureed soup is returned to the pot and finished with a few more minutes of simmering. The soup has a balanced texture featuring both smooth and mushroom pieces. It provides warmth and a mild earthy flavor suitable as a light starter or paired with bread for a simple meal.
