What Type Of Mushrooms You Can Use For This Soup?
With so many types of mushrooms available, it’s easy to unlock the incredible flavor of mushroom soup. The options and recipes are endless, from woodsy shiitakes and hearty cremini to versatile white buttons and seasonal gems (morels).
I have listed a few mushrooms you can use for the recipe.
- White Button – The white button mushroom is the most common and mild mushroom with a soft texture.
- Cremini – Cremini mushrooms are interchangeable in most recipes with their relative, the white button, but more firm in texture, darker in color, and even more flavorful.
- Portobello – Portobello mushrooms are large, incredibly “meaty,” and rich in flavor. Since they’re dense and hold up to various cooking methods (grilling, broiling and roasting), they make a great vegetarian meat alternative.
- Oyster – Oyster mushrooms look alike oysters. They are very tender and chewy in texture. Oyster mushrooms are light in color and have a mild, almost sweet aroma and flavor. Once cooked, oyster mushrooms take on a meaty texture. Use oyster mushrooms in soups, sauces and stir-fries.
- Morels – A sought-after spring mushroom in the Midwest and West, the morel mushroom is bold in flavor and somewhat spongey in texture. They are cone-like and are best sautéed in butter, fried, or cooked in a creamy sauce.
How Do You Make Mushroom Soup Without Cream?
If you need to leave out the cream, you can substitute it with evaporated or regular milk (full fat or 2% are fine). Just be careful not to boil it rapidly, as it may curdle. Go with a very gentle simmer over low heat for about a minute to heat it through.
You can leave out the cream or milk for a dairy-free option. Our mushroom soup is still nice and creamy without the dairy component!
What Equipment Will You Need To Make Gordon Ramsay Mushroom Soup?
- Saucepan – Use a saucepan to cook the mushrooms for garnish.
- Pan – Use a large pan to make the soup. You can also use a large pot or Dutch pot to make this soup.
- Blender – To blend the ingredients for the soup, you need a blender.
- Spatula – Use a spatula to stir and combine the ingredients for the soup.

What Ingredients Will You Need To Make Gordon Ramsay Mushroom Soup?
- Porcini Mushrooms – Use dried porcini mushrooms for this recipe. Dried porcini mushrooms add a nutty and earthy meatiness to the soup. They are nutritious and have comparatively deeper flavor.
- Button Mushrooms – Chop some button mushrooms for the soup. Mushrooms are the main ingredient for this recipe. You can use mixed varieties of mushrooms to make this soup.
- Butter – Butter enhances the texture of this soup and adds more flavors to it. You need to add butter to the oil used for cooking the veggies for soup and to roast the mushrooms.
- Crème Fraiche – Crème fraiche adds a mildly sour taste to the soup and also improves its texture. You might need about three tablespoons of crème fraiche for this recipe.
- Vegetable Stock – Vegetable stock gives body to the soup. It enhances the taste of the soup and gives it a thick and smooth texture. I’ve used about ten ounces of vegetable stock for this soup.
- Olive Oil – Olive oil is the main ingredient to cook the veggies and mushrooms for the soup. You need about one ounce of olive oil for this soup.
- Onion – Chop an onion to add a slightly sweet flavor to the soup.
- Garlic – Garlic cloves add a slightly nutty and a basic seasoning flavor to the soup. I’ve minced one and a half cloves of garlic for this soup.
- Thyme – Thyme adds herbal flavors to the soup. Use about three sprigs of thyme for the soup. You can also use thyme to garnish the soup.
- Chives – Chives add fresh earthy flavors to the soup. Add about two tablespoons of chopped chives to the pan containing onions.
- Salt – Enhance the taste of this soup by adding salt to it.
- Pepper – Spice up your mushroom soup by adding a pinch of black pepper in it.

In another pan, cook mushrooms in olive oil with thyme sprigs in it until the mushrooms are brown.
