Cream of Mushroom soup is a rich and comforting dish made primarily from mushrooms, cream, butter, and broth, often thickened with flour or starch. Originating from French cuisine as a derivative of traditional velouté sauces, it has become a popular base for casseroles and dishes worldwide. Mushrooms, the core ingredient, are low in calories and packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, offering a source of selenium and B vitamins. While its creamy texture provides indulgence, the soup’s high fat and sodium content, depending on preparation method or canned versions, may be a concern for heart health and calorie-conscious eaters. Homemade variations allow for control of healthier ingredients, such as low-fat dairy or added vegetables. Cream of Mushroom is an accessible favorite for balancing earthy flavors with creamy richness, suitable for solo enjoyment or enhancing hearty recipes.
