Notes

Choose mushrooms - you can use a variety of mushrooms for the best flavor. While button mushrooms are common, adding other types of mushrooms can enhance the taste and texture of the soup.
Clean mushrooms properly - as we all know, mushrooms are like sponges and can absorb water quickly, affecting their texture when cooked. Instead of rinsing them under water, gently wipe them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt or debris.
Vegan option - change broth for vegetable stock, butter for olive oil and heavy cream with coconut cream.
Control the flavor - you can control the flavor of your recipe for gluten-free mushroom soup by adding some umami spices like mushroom powder or garlic powder.
Thickening agent - if you do not have xanthan gum available, you can use any homemade cream or gluten-free flour to help thicken the consistency of the soup.
