Low Fat Creamy Mushroom Soup
This mushroom soup uses fresh shiitake and baby bella mushrooms along with celery for aromatic depth. A flour-water slurry thickens the broth enriched by chicken bouillon and optional butter without heavy cream, producing a light but creamy texture. Blending part of the soup smooths the texture while leaving some mushroom pieces for bite.
