For a richer flavor, sauté the mushrooms separately in a little butter or olive oil before adding them to the soup. If you don't have chicken stock, vegetable stock can be used as a substitute. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving. For a vegetarian option, ensure your stock is vegetable-based. To add a smoky flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika.

Jan 28, 2025I found that the soup was a little bland, so I added a splash of soy sauce and it really enhanced the flavor.
