An exceptional Homemade Mushroom Soup recipe. So tasty you’ll never want to eat canned again.
On a recent trip to the grocery store I came across an amazing variety pack of mushrooms. Tucked away in my binder full of recipes I had saved this delicious looking recipe for Homemade Mushroom soup from Season with Spice. These mushrooms were perfect for trying this recipe. The recipe exceeded my expectations and is now, by far, my favorite mushroom soup recipe. A hint of nutmeg adds incredible, but subtle flavor. This recipe serves 2 so be sure to double or more, for second helpings or to feed the family.
A exotic variety of mushroom added delicious flavour to my soup.

Chris, thank you so much, means a lot coming from you 🙂
I love homemade mushroom soup and your looks delicious!!
Thanks Tara,!
I have the ingredients and will be trying this tonight. Thanks.
Love to get your feedback on the recipe after you’ve made it Linda 🙂
Thanks for letting me know what you thought about the recipe. My husband is not a big fan of thyme, but I love it, so its always a compromise in our home.
Hi Laureen. I tried the recipe. The only thing I would change would be to not add the thyme. I am not a huge fan of it, but tried it anyway just to see how the recipe would turn out. I’m sure for those who like thyme, this would be fine, but for me next time sans thyme. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Elizabeth, I have never froze this soup, but I agree I don’t think cream soups freeze very well, and I think the mushrooms would get an undesirable texture. Have you tried my Italian Turkey Burger Soup, it freezes very well.
i just made this. I added onion and potato. Its really good. I look forward to the left overs and making it again, in the future
Thank you for letting me know Michelle, so glad you enjoyed the recipe.
I made this last night, followed all of the directions. I turned out amazing! Loved it! I also added in some wild rice to make it a little more hearty. Thank you for the wonderful recipe!
Fantastic Kendra, I like the idea of adding the wild rice!
