For a deeper flavor, consider using dried porcini mushrooms. Rehydrate a handful in hot water, then chop and add them to the soup along with the fresh mushrooms. Be sure to strain the soaking liquid and add it to the broth for extra umami. To make this soup vegan, substitute the butter with olive oil and the light cream with full-fat coconut milk. Ensure your vegetable broth is also vegan-friendly. For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the cream. Be careful not to over-blend, as this can make the soup gummy.
