    HOW TO MAKE KETO CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP

    For this recipe, I like to chop the mushrooms finely in a food processor.  You could also do this with a knife but I find that getting them finely chopped like this helps them cook quicker.

    Let's start by heating the butter in a heavy bottom pot over medium heat.

    Add in the onion and cook until soft, this should take about 5-8 minutes.

    Add in the garlic and the chopped mushrooms and continue to cook for 5 minutes more.

    The soup will be thick, but still chunky.

    If you want a completely smooth keto cream of mushroom soup, you can carefully blend it in a food processor or you can blend half of the soup if you want it to have a bit of texture.  You can also use a immersion blender directly in the pot.

    Whatever method you use, please be careful because the soup is hot!

      Yum-O! I just made this and it's a winner. It's quick and easy to make and I especially love the tip to use the food processor to chop the mushrooms. The single cup of heavy cream makes it very rich and filling. I may try adding a splash of Marsala wine to it next time.

        I didn't use the xanthan gum and blended some of the mushrooms to thicken it up.

      I tried freezing the soup and the outcome was not good. Very clumpy. But it is an excellent soup so eat it all up fresh!!

          AWESOME! It's absolutely a keeper! I may try to add spinach and/or cooked chicken thighs next time I make it.
