I think I’ll make this as a blended cream soup (sour cream? cream from raw milk? greek yogurt?) with croutons for those in my family who would never eat mushrooms. :) Thanks for the very yummy recipe!
I am SO excited to try this soup- I use homemade chicken stock for all my soup bases-( broccoli and potato soups, even our beans)- I am nursing so just in case I’ll forgo the sage, but my sis is bringing me fresh thyme tonight! YUMMO
Looks great! Yum!
I am going to try this with chicken to make it a “real” meal. I also am wondering about the mushrooms… I couldn’t find the correct type and was not in the mood to drive all over. Will regular mushrooms (the kind in the store) suffice? (Hope so!)
@Casherie, The white button mushrooms won’t taste as good, nor do they have many immune boosting nutrients. They’ll work for soup, but it won’t be as good. :-)
Adding chicken sounds like a wonderful idea!

Mushrooms are the best veggies ever. that dont taste like nothing before you cook them. but after you cook\steam them, it the best.

Meg, this soup looks delicious! My family loves mushrooms! My hubby likes to have meat with most meals, but I think he would enjoy this meatless soup! I didn’t realize mushrooms were so good for immunity! I can’t wait to try this out!!

We just made this for dinner. It was wonderful. Was so tasty. Thank you. We added a little bit of feta before we served it this made it even yummier.

@Madeleine Booth-Smits @ NZ Ecochick, Mmm, feta sounds lovely! Thanks for trying it and commenting! :-) I’m always glad to know it’s not just my family that likes it! ;-)

I am curious about your statement on eating organic mushrooms and them being treated. mushrooms for the first time made the list of safe top 12 foods this year to eat non organic.
@kelly, I am using information I heard/received a while ago about the fungicide treatment of conventional mushrooms. I don’t remember the exact source, but I spoke with our local mushroom producer and she confirmed that many conventional producers will use a fungicide, or similar chemical to prevent mold for long-term storage & shipping. My (updated) Clean 15 checklist from EWG doesn’t list mushrooms in their safe list, though, so we will continue to buy organic vs. conventional.
We prioritize local and organic foods, and are incredibly blessed to have a source for local, organic mushrooms. Use what you can find. :-) Whole foods, conventional or not, are always best.

Cannot wait to try this. We love mushrooms, and I’ve often wondered if they had any nutritional benefits. I haven’t had the chance to research it myself. This was enough to whet my appetite (excuse the pun, I suppose). :)
This looks fantastic, and another good way to get homemade stock into my family. Seems like I remember reading that sage in large quantities can interfere with lactation? Do you know anything about that one?
danielle´s last [type] ..zoom zoom zoom
@danielle, Yes, sage does affect lactation. However, I don’t eat this soup every day when I’m nursing, and I didn’t notice a difference in my milk supply (and I’m very sensitive). :-) You can always add more thyme, or substitute parsley, which is also a great tasting herb with medicinal benefits.

What a great recipe. I just went to a health fair today and Dole was there passing out samples of their new mushroom powder. Saying how it has loads of vitamin D, and that it can be mixed into things like smoothies. However, I think I would rather this mushroom soup.

@Sandra, Supplements do have their place, but whole food is always better. :-)
Meg @ Cracking An Egg´s last [type] ..Using Food to Heal: Mushroom Soup with Herbs
This sounds and looks great! I’ve been thinking of ways to turn homemade broth into a good immune booster for this winter.
Sage is a powerful and effective herb, but pregnant and nursing women should avoid it since it can dry up your milk supply.
@Deborah, You’re right – I forgot to add that in. Thanks!
Winning recipe
Many thanks to you

Whew. I wish I could eat them. I have issues with certain mushrooms. Sometimes the texture just does me in. :-) But, they are very pretty to look at!

@Stacy Makes Cents, I also used them pureed at first. That seemed to help with textural issues. ;-)
Meg @ Cracking An Egg´s last [type] ..Using Food to Heal: Mushroom Soup with Herbs
I love mushrooms, and hate being sick. This recipe = win for me.
Courtney´s last [type] ..Recipe of the Week: Mole Chili & Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins
Okay…reading about it, makes me want to eat mushrooms. But the picture, and knowing how my mouth feels about fungi…I’m not sure I can do it. Can you put it in a pill? :)
Wick´s last [type] ..imaginary living
@Wick, I had the hardest time EVER with learning to like mushrooms… until I ate “real” mushrooms… not canned, not button, not… icky. ;-)
I started with the tiny little gourmet mushrooms, and loved them! I just worked my way up the size chart. ;-) Now I can totally handle them.
And yes, you can very much take a supplement for the same purpose – but real food is always a better choice. ;-)
Mmm…I LOVE mushrooms and especially in soup. I can’t wait to try this!
That’s great to know that mushrooms are immunity boosters. And when paired with the chicken stock in this soup – wow! I’ll have to keep this dish in our soup rotation this fall/winter season. :-) Thanks for sharing, Meg.

Thank you for this timely and delicious recipe. My adult son has recently been diagnosed with psoriasis and has chosen to begin taking methotrexate. I am so concerned about this drug’s toxicity and side effects, and am doing all I can to support him with nutrition. I am grateful for your site’s help in this area.
God’s peace alone,
Shyla

@Shyla, Thank you. What a powerful drug! There are so many natural remedies for psoriasis – God bless you in your search!
