Cream of mushroom soup is a rich and flavorful dish made with a base of sautéed mushrooms, butter, cream, and broth, often thickened with flour or cornstarch. Originating from French cuisine, this comforting soup has gained popularity worldwide both as a standalone dish and as a key ingredient in casseroles. The mushrooms provide essential nutrients like selenium, potassium, and B vitamins, which support immune function and overall health. However, the soup’s creamy texture often comes from dairy and added fats, which may contribute to higher calorie and saturated fat content. Depending on the recipe or preparation, sodium levels can also be significant, especially in canned versions. Lighter variations that use low-fat dairy or plant-based alternatives can make it a healthier option. Cream of mushroom soup offers a versatile and satisfying way to enjoy the earthy flavors of mushrooms while being mindful of its nutritional profile.
