Notes

For added flavor, consider adding a dash of nutmeg before serving. Clean mushrooms with a damp cloth to avoid sogginess; slice evenly for uniform cooking. For thicker soup, blend half of the mixture and stir it back in for a creamy texture. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently over low heat to maintain the creamy texture and avoid boiling.
