The "No!" Cream Of Mushroom Soup

Who doesn’t love cream of mushroom soup? Smooth, filling, and rich in flavour. However, there are 2 reasons I wanted to make a mushroom soup that resembled a broth rather than the typical creamy deliciousness. One was that I wanted a healthier mushroom soup and the other was that I wanted to try to make a mushroom soup that wasn’t creamy because I have never had 1! So I tested some ideas out and this soup really works well. You can actually taste the distinct earthiness of the cremini/brown mushrooms versus the lighter texture of the oyster mushrooms. Nothing is covered up by cream! This soup must have a kick to it to take it up a notch though. So don’t try this if you’re not going to add in the scotch bonnet heat.
