Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use dried mushrooms?
A: Yes, dried mushrooms can be used for a deeper, more intense flavor. Rehydrate them in warm water first, then add them to the soup along with their soaking liquid for extra richness.
Q: Can I skip the cream?
A: Absolutely. You can omit the cream for a lighter soup, or replace it with half-and-half, milk, or a non-dairy alternative like coconut milk for a different flavor.
Q: How can I thicken the soup without cream?
A: Add a few diced potatoes or a small amount of cornstarch slurry if you prefer a thicker soup without cream.
