We’re always looking for ways to make an easy meal, and one that incorporates a healthy vegetable if possible; but most of all, it has to be flavorful!   

 

This mushroom soup is simple, delicious and comforting.  It requires only one medium size pot, some vegetable broth, a small package of white mushrooms, fresh basil, elbow pasta and some seasonings.

 

What we love most about this soup is in the prep work.  Really nothing to it.  All you need to do with the mushrooms is give them a quick rinse, then dice both the mushrooms and fresh basil.

Then simmer everything together, and toss in elbows last; simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the elbows are done!

It’s nothing fancy – but this mushroom soup is definitely BIG on flavor!

 

 

 

Fast & Easy Mushroom Soup is a great way to make lunch or dinner on a busy weekday. 

 

This soup is not only tasty, it’s nutritious too!  Bet your family will love this mushroom soup.  So make extra, you may want to bring leftovers to work the next day. 

 

Mushrooms are always available at your local supermarkets and we buy them often.  They only need a good rinse, and they’re ready to add them to your salads, soups and pasta dishes.

 

 

What are the Benefits of eating Mushrooms:

Mushrooms are packed with good nutrients. They’re rich in B vitamins which help the body to get energy from them, including help form healthy red blood cells; and a few of B vitamins also appear to be important for a healthy brain as well.

They’re low in calories, a great source of fiber and protein, and they’re the perfect vegetable for those plant-based diets.  All the more reasons to buy them weekly.

 

 

Ingredients Needed for Easy Mushroom Soup:

To make this mushroom soup, you will need:

• Vegetable Broth:  1 quart / 32-ounce is enough.

• White Mushrooms: about 7  to 9 mushrooms.

• Elbow Pasta:  elbow or any small pasta will do.  Small gluten-free pasta will work too!

• Herbs: bunch of fresh or frozen chopped basil gives flavor to this soup.

• Seasonings:  salt, pepper and some garlic powder will do.

 

 

 

To Make Easy Mushroom Soup:

To make this easy mushroom soup, simply:

1.  Use a 3 quart (2.9 L) pot to make this soup.

2.  Rinse and finely diced mushrooms, the smaller the pieces the better.

3.  Pour vegetable broth and water into pot.  Bring to a boil, then toss in mushrooms and basil.  Cover and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes to flavor the broth.

4.  Toss in elbow pasta, and stir in some salt, black pepper and some garlic powder.

5.  Cook pasta until tender to the bite, about 5 minutes, or to desired tenderness.

6.  Always taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings, if needed.  Serve in individual soup bowls.

 

This mushroom soup is flavorful all alone; but we love it even more when some grated Parmesan cheese or pecorino cheese is sprinkled on top!

ENJOY!!
