Quick French Onion Mushroom Soup

Quick French onion mushroom soup happens like magic when you have the right ingredients! And, a rich depth of flavor beef bone broth counts! 

Healthy Mushroom Onion Soup

There’s absolutely no reason why you can’t make this healthy mushroom onion soup! Once you watch the video, you’ll say ‘Yes! I can!’

The type of mushroom best for this soup is the baby bella. If you can’t source that mushroom, then regular mushrooms work. You’ll want the mushrooms to vary in size, some large, medium and small. Also, another option is to use a mushroom blend like shitake, oyster, beech, baby bellas. 

Now if you want to top this soup with the ultimate croutons, yes, homemade, then you must look at my recipe for big garlicky crunchy croutons! 

Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Soup

The most time consuming part of this recipe? Caramelizing the onions for the soup. Just take a deep breath. It takes some time. Great caramelized onions don’t happen in a flash. 

But, once those onions are caramelized, well, it’s all down hill from there! 

Mushroom and Onion Soup No Cream

Now, I’m not using heavy cream in my soup. You can certainly add if you wish for more creaminess. But, I wanted the earthy simple flavor of the onions and the mushrooms. And, yep, that’s what we have. 

Mushroom Broth French Onion Soup

You can’t get the best result nor depth of flavors without using a really high-quality beef bone broth.

Oh, yes, I know very well that you can make your own beef bone broth or purchase less expensive brands, but the reactions you’ll see in the video of Candice and me eating this soup for lunch, well, it’s in large part because of the excellent beef bone broth. 

French Onion Soup Recipe Easy

I suppose one of my trademarks in this world of cooking is that I want to make it easy and fun for you. 

There’s no reason to get bogged down in the kitchen, spend hours and hours, and have a ton of clean up. 

This recipe like others that I’ve created are just that. Easy and quick. Minimal clean up. 

French Onion Soup Ingredients

The ingredients in this soup are absolutely earth-friendly and delicious. Mushrooms, lots of them. I bought the big container at Costco. That’s a great buy. 

Remove the stems. Put them in about a cup of water and simmer to extract some fabulous mushroom flavoring for your soup. And, then onions, lots of sweet onions that are almost as sweet as candy after carmalizing! 

Best French Onion Mushroom Soup

Besides soup, I’ve got one killer recipe for French Onion Beef Sliders! Oh, yes, you WILL be happy! Serve with fluffy soft billowy Hawaiian rolls. That first bite? Heaven! 

And, finally you’ll notice that I didn’t melt the cheese atop the soup. I mean, why be predictable. So the pepperjack cheese, yes, a kick of heat, is melted on the baguette slices that are served with the soup. Believe me, it’s the real deal!
