Why Choose Seafood Mushrooms To Make Mushroom Soup?

Seafood mushroom (also known as enoki mushroom) is a great choice for mushroom soup for several reasons:

This enoki mushroom soup brings out the tasty flavor and texture of seafood mushrooms. They have a soft, slightly sweet taste that blends well with broth, cream, or other ingredients. Their thin, stringy stems and tiny caps give the soup a unique, slightly crunchy texture that holds up well during cooking. With a long, lean look, they make the soup visually appealing and elegant.

It’s a low-calorie soup but rich in fiber, antioxidants, and B vitamins. Your soup is gonna be the best nutritious beverage ever.

Required Equipment

Gather all the essential tools that are needed during the process:

• Large Pot or Dutch Oven
• Cutting Board
• Chef’s Knife
• Saute Pan
• Measuring Cups and Spoons
• Ladle
• Spatula
• Blender (optional)

Step-by-step Instructions

1. Preparing the mushrooms

• Clean all mushroom pieces before cutting.
• Cut them in a slice method and wash them again.

2. Sauteing Aromatics

• In a large pot, heat 2-3 tbsp of oil or butter over low heat.
• Add chopped onions and saute until sheer-fry (4–5 minutes).
• Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger (if using). Cook for around 1–2 mins until fragrant.

3. Cooking Mushrooms

• Add your cleaned and sliced mushrooms to the pot.
• Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release moisture and begin to become brownish.

4. Building the Broth

• In the pan, add a splash of dry white wine (optional) and simmer for 2 minutes.
• Pour with chicken broth (or a mix). Use enough to cover all the ingredients (about 4–6 cups).
• Add a splash of soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to taste.
• Toss in herbs like thyme or parsley (fresh or dried).
• Simmer gently for 15–20 minutes to develop the flavor.
• Blend a small portion of the soup until smooth, then stir it back into the main pot to enhance the texture and depth of flavor.(It’s optional.)

5. Adding other Seafood (optional)

This is optional, but still, if you desire this, it can be good:

Use Shrimp/Scallops/Crab/Fish as seafood items:

• If using seafood, add it during the last 5–8 minutes of simmering (depending on the type):
• Shrimp/scallops: 3–5 minutes until just transparent.
• Fish: 5–6 minutes until flakes easily.
• Crab: Already cooked? Just warm through.

6. Thickening

For a creamy or chowder-like texture:

• Combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch or flour with 2 tablespoons of cold water to make a  smooth batter.
• Stir into the soup and simmer until the soup becomes thick consistency (3–5 minutes).

7. Adding Cream/Milk

• Lower the heat and gently stir in cream or milk (start with 1 cup).
• Do not boil after adding dairy— it just needs to heat through.
• Now, adjust the seasoning: add more salt, pepper, or soy sauce if needed.

8. Finishing Touches

• Add a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
• Stir in fresh chopped herbs (like dill, parsley, or chives).
• Remove from heat and let it rest for a minute or two before serving.

9. Serving and Garnishing

• Serve the soup hot.
• Top with:

• Sliced mushrooms
• Fresh herbs
• A lemon wedge on the side
• A small amount of parsley
• Croutons for crunch (optional but lovely)

Serving Tips

Now, what would be better to serve with mushroom soup?—

• Serve with crusty bread or garlic toast.
• Pair with a crisp white wine or light herbal tea.
• Add any type of seafood and fresh cream just before serving to keep freshness and texture.
