Tips

Mushrooms are porous and absorb water💧 easily, so avoid soaking them for too long to prevent them from becoming soggy. Instead, it's best to quickly rinse them or wipe them clean with a damp cloth to preserve their texture and flavor.

For this soup, always use🍄 fresh mushrooms; button mushrooms work well, but you can also try varieties like cremini or shiitake for a richer taste.

While this recipe uses curry leaves🌿 and cilantro, you can experiment with other herbs like thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves for a unique taste experience.

Croutons, sliced and fried🧄 garlic, or a sprinkle of grated🧀 cheese can be added as a garnish for the soup.

Pair your Mushroom Clear Soup with whole-grain🍞 bread, a 🥗salad, or a light sandwich🥪 for a complete meal, or add boiled noodles🍜 to the soup for a heartier option.

Store the mushroom clear soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When reheating, warm it gently over low heat to preserve its delicate flavors.

To make a vegan version of the clear mushroom soup, simply replace the 🧈butter with olive oil, coconut oil, or any oil of your choice.
