Cream of Mushroom Soup | Christine Cushing

[@KMcKee-qn6bo]

Okay... I’m new here to your channel. And I gotta say this.... the best and most profound mushroom soup I ever had was in a little tiny gourmet French cafe in Fort Collins Co, about twelve years ago. I just made this. Christine, your recipe surpasses that soup. You are on the very top of the list of mushroom soups. Congrats !!!

[@ChristineCushing]

Ohh soo amazing to hear ! Welcome to my channel and kitchen and hope you try some more of my recipes . See you in the kitchen

[@rulaabiantun1485]

Dear Christine, the way you explain, the tips you show us , your extensive knowledge in many cuisines makes you stand out from the rest. You are a reference in cooking in my opinion, the Queen ! Thank you so much, 🙏😘🥰💐🌹

[@ChristineCushing]

Thank you so much! Much appreciation back at you ..

[@ladymoriarty1349]

All mum wants on Mothers Day is a great mushroom soup. Thanks again .🙂

[@ke380]

Wonderful soup! Tip we received from a mushroom farmer....shitake mushroom stems can be eaten, just cut off a bit of the end and slice thin circles and add to cooking vessel to whatever dish you are preparing. We have been doing this since hearing of this method. Thanks for your recipe!

[@ChristineCushing]

that's very interesting. I'll have to try that technique on the stems. Thanks

[@PanAmStyle]

Wow - making this one!

[@SSHK237]

The way you enjoy while cooking drags us into your video and we virtually start feeling the aroma and the taste of whatever you are preparing! Great Christine! Thanx! 💖

[@ChristineCushing]

Thank you so much.! Sometimes I get over excited about the littlest detail in the kitchen but i do believe there is magic here. !

[@mcland62]

Another 5 * recipe.! Thank you!

[@ChristineCushing]

You are most welcome !

[@MagManTR09]

I often make cream of mushroom soup and always change things up a bit to keep life interesting. Christine, you inspire me! I absolutely love what you did here and can imagine how delicious it is. Will be heading to the grocery stores to gather up all those mushroom varieties to toss into my pot and will be faithfully applying some of your techniques (I love the mushroom liquor step). Oh, and my immersion blender always gets a regular workout since I bought it 12 years ago! Love that tool!! Keep on inspiring us!! You da best!

[@andrewaway]

Looks fabulous. I love how Sherry works so well with mushroom soup. Thank you. ❤️

[@atlassheppard]

I pick wild mushrooms all spring, summer and fall and feast all winter long. Mushroom cuisine is my specialty and I approve your methods. I always learn something from you. The Jasmine rice for instance. I shall definitely have to give that a try next time. I don't use ginger but I do add a spoonful of Marmite for extra Umami. I like fresh herbs as a garnish too. Maybe some Enoki and a slice of sourdough on the side. I like your chips too. BTW, I just made some Wild Mushroom Hot and Sour soup the other day. I think it is more delicious than pork or chicken hot and sour soup. Thanks for being you.

[@EricsonHerbas]

Great technique and easy explanation. Looks delish. I shall give the recipe a try. Thank you!

[@ChristineCushing]

Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you love it.

[@coderspy]

I love this channel! For my mushroom soup, I like to add a pinch of truffle salt to increase the mushrooms flavor.

[@ChristineCushing]

Thanks so much !

[@bjorn7355]

Now it is clear what I will make for the family on Sunday!

[@ChristineCushing]

I predict success ! How was it ?

[@bjorn7355]

@@ChristineCushing It was great! :)

[@therenaissanceredneck8825]

Yum! I love homemade cream of mushroom soup. Especially when using a combination of dried foraged mushrooms and fresh ones too. Plate presentation tells me it is delicious. Will make it this weekend.

[@ChristineCushing]

That's great! Let me know how it turns out. We love it in our house.

The rice idea is genius.

[@ChristineCushing]

Thank you ! I love how it turns out.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

My dad and his brothers were good at picking wild mushrooms on my dad's farm in Alberta. One of my other uncles was also good at picking wild mushrooms. They were very tasty when they were cooked up. Dried mushrooms have a very good flavour. Homemade cream of mushroom soup is so good. The soup you made looks quite tasty. Green onions and thyme are good in cream of mushroom soup. Cheers!

[@ChristineCushing]

Totally agree with you on all above. Thank you

[@fernandovega9319]

I love so much your videos Christine. You are my inspiration in the kitchen ❤️

[@ChristineCushing]

Thank you so much. I appreciate it

[@Baladhya]

Looks like i know what to try this weekend. it's supposed to be a cold wet day in Vancouver, this soup will be perfect! Thank you, Christine! Cooking, Alcohol and controversy! perfect cooking party!

[@ChristineCushing]

Exactly right? Thanks for watching. It's super cold here in Toronto, so also perfect for mushroom soup.

Your cream of mushroom soup does look so tasty and after watching you trying it out I wanted to cook some, but is out of mushrooms to make it.

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Yesss I love mushroom soup. This one looks SO good and I’m 100% on team rice for thickening! Not totally sold on the ginger but it might be worth a try!

[@ChristineCushing]

I hope you give the ginger a try, as it's super subtle. yeah team rice ! Thank you

Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@ChristineCushing]

My pleasure !

[@sarahjames4295]

Christine, I am thoroughly enjoying your videos and have made several of your recipes, including this mushroom soup. It turned out fabulous and everyone LOVED it! The recipe calls for the juice of half a lemon, which I added, but you did not add any in the video. What is the purpose of lemon juice?

[@ChristineCushing]

Thank you so much Sarah. This is one of my absolute favourite soups. I did add it in video but I probably got edited out when we just trimmed the length a bit. The lemon juice is a great way to lift and enhance the flavours in the soup, without imparting a strong lemon flavour. In general acid is used to do this in a variety of ways. I hope this helps.

[@sarahjames4295]

Yes, it is very helpful! I am learning so much from you. My husband is my recipe tester and he is loving it. 😄 Do you have a video for Croque Monsieur?

[@arts_closet1440]

Wow very good recipe

[@ChristineCushing]

Thank You !

[@3pumpkins170]

I need to try the rice trick. I usually use a potato for the starch 😀.

[@willmar5973]

.....Hi There Lovely Charismatic Chef Christine...would it be too much to ask for another recipe on another delicious hot soup?...'cause it's friggin' cold here!

[@AnneluvsKatz]

I can almost taste that 🥰🥰🥰

[@ChristineCushing]

It's sooo delicious. Thank you

[@SorrentoShore]

😋this ain't your childhood campbell's mushroom soup kids! (which was my fav) I am definitely making this chef! How about adding cognac? --how DO you keep in such great shape?! 🥄

[@ChristineCushing]

It's definitely not our childhood canned mushroom soup. I hope you try it. Cognac would also be great with the mushrooms. Lot's of walking and basically cooking all day long...LOL. Thank you

[@VeiledDancer]

I’m drooling now lol

[@ChristineCushing]

[@sharroon7574]

Weeee, I am making mushroom soup this week and I have porcinis in the pantry!!

[@ChristineCushing]

Then it is definitely perfect timing ! Enjoy

[@TheAgentbosko]

Love the mushrooms in any form...perfect recipe for winter lunch or dinner...how did you prepare the ones you use on top for decoration?

[@ChristineCushing]

Mushrooms are so delicious. For the king oyster chips , I just sliced them thinly, drizzled with olive oil and baked for 10 -13 minutes or until crisp. I love using that technique . Thank you

[@PastorJack1957]

At 4:35 she says they are shitake mushrooms, they are not, they are portabells mushrooms. Known in the PNW for their hamburger size caps and woody/nutty flavor. Correct me if I'm wrong, post pics to prove it! Lol. Love mushroom soup. Gonna make this one for sure!

[@653eldorado]

Absolutely correct. Portobello, not shitake

[@ChristineCushing]

Guys, just to clarify, it is the shiitake mushrooms I am slicing. Portobellos, have almost black gills and the stems are bigger and edible. The shiitake have these woody stems and a meaty texture. The shot is super close up so they look bigger than they are. thanks for watching

[@susankopf6260]

Hi Christine! How do I find a printable version of your recipe for Cream of Wild Mushroom Soup?

[@rkmoss04]

dang it! I forgot the nutmeg! ;) kidding aside, this looks for reals amazing. Definitely gonna try it

[@carolineinsydney1281]

My mother has been using a handful of rice to thicken her soups since I was a kid

[@ChristineCushing]

It is a great technique .. Thank you

[@logikasoul6880]

well this is the 2nd time I made this recipe and we love it!! BUT, this is the 1st time I've tried to make the king oyster chips and not so sure that was a win... used thin slices brushed with olive oil in the middle of a 375 f oven for 45 mins.. help?

[@ChristineCushing]

Glad you loved the soup ! For the chips it is too long. You are looking to crisp them up but not totally dehydrate them. Temp is good , I would try more like 15 minutes , maybe turning the pan for even colour. Convection is key. As they cool down they crisp up more. If they are completely flexible still , you need to bake them longer. I hope these tips help and sorry that I didn’t have the exact recipe for these.

[@logikasoul6880]

@@ChristineCushing Again Thank you for the tips much appreciated.. I also tried your galaktobours? LOL sorry for the spelling.. the cake was so easy though we had to be creative as my sweet hubby brought home puff pastry instead of the phyllo? regardless it was so good.. Thank you

[@nolitetebastardescarborund9761]

Christine, I've watched your vid twice & can't figure out if you used BOTH porcini & morels.

[@ChristineCushing]

I used only the porcini but you could do both. I hope you try it. Thanks

What soup crock (bowl) is that? I need two.

Isn't it such a cool bowl( crock)? It called out to me for this soup. I bought at Crate and Barrel (made in Portugal). Hope that helps.

[@zanavaughn4517]

I always inspect my mushrooms after rehydrating because several times I have found rehydrated maggots along with them. Not the protein source I desire.

[@no1takethisname]

Thanks for the heads up

[@SuzanneBaruch]

It's pretty common. After I take the mushrooms out of the soaking liquid, I give each piece a very quick rinse under warm water for a moment to wash off anything that's clinging to it. These are wild mushrooms and the worms are part of that natural environment. Anyone who gets squeamish about it shouldn't eat ketchup!

[@SorrentoShore]

@@SuzanneBaruch ketchup? Why, what's in ketchup?

[@zanavaughn4517]

@@SuzanneBaruch I do the same: wash each of them off. It gets rid of the residual dirt as well. I would say if people are squeamish about the worms, they shouldn't eat anything at all and pick up sungazing.

[@kamikwazi]

Funny!

[@whatshappeningtodayfolks]

I've always loved your shows. Your recipes sound amazing. But for someone like me who has bad reactions to anything from the allium family, I could never eat these wonderful looking meals. I've always wished someone would create recipes that don't use onion and garlic.

[@logikasoul6880]

how did you make the king oyster chips?

[@ChristineCushing]

I thinly sliced them lengthwise , drizzled with some olive oil , s& p ( added some tarragon ) and baked at 375 till golden brown (roughly 13-15 min but will vary )and starting to crisp up. They are amazing . I hope this helps

[@logikasoul6880]

Use a coffee filter instead of paper towels. I don't know for sure but I don't think regular paper towels are food safe compared to coffee filters plus coffee filters fit better in the sieve.
