Creamy Cremini Mushroom Soup

View Recipe

Reduced-fat sour cream and low-fat milk make this soup creamy without all the fat. The pudgy brown mushrooms called cremini are generally firmer and richer-tasting than common white mushrooms. Nothing soothes, nourishes and comforts like homemade chicken broth. Canned broth is handy when you need a quick soup, but homemade delivers maximum flavor.

Healthy Cream of Mushroom Soup

View Recipe

This better-for-you version of the traditional cream of mushroom soup calls for you to puree half of the soup for that rich, creamy mouthfeel and leave the other half as is for hits of meaty texture. Don't skip the parsley and tarragon, as both add a nice pop of color, and their flavors play so well with the mushrooms. Be sure to brown the mushrooms well as that'll add even more depth to the soup.
