Notes
For a richer flavor, you can use a mix of different mushroom varieties.
To make it vegan, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or cashew cream.
Add a splash of white wine while cooking the mushrooms for an extra depth of flavor.
If the soup is too thick, thin it out with a bit more broth or cream.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for longer preservation.
