How to Make 10 Minute Cream Of Mushroom Soup

  3. Remove saucepan from heat.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of seasoning salt.
  5. Slowly whisk in the 2 cups of mushroom liquid and 1 cup of milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  6. Return the saucepan to medium heat.

  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with crusty bread.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
