Gluten-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup
View Recipe
There's no cream in this silky mushroom soup. Pureed potatoes give this vegan mushroom soup its creamy texture. Be sure to use Yukon Gold—russets don't provide quite the right texture.

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.

Wild Mushroom Soup
View Recipe
This creamless—but creamy—mushroom soup recipe showcases the savory flavor of fresh morel mushrooms. If you can't find fresh or dried morels, try other dried mushrooms, such as dried sh*takes or creminis, but be sure to use at least 1 ounce of dried mushrooms to keep the luscious flavor in this healthy soup. Serve with crusty garlic bread.

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.
