Recipe Notes
Cream of Mushroom soup is so comforting. It is savory, a bit sweet, warm, and fulfilling: perfect for a cool winter’s night. The goat cheese enriches this soup and the tarragon gives it a lovely herbaceous hint.
Cream soups don’t have to rely on cream or even milk. The combination of pureed onions and mushrooms with the flour-thickened sauce and mushroom powder creates a silky smooth soup. The goat cheese adds to that and makes this soup super-rich and super-creamy.
Those who are lactose-intolerant may find that they can tolerate this soup: goat cheese is often better tolerated than cheese from cow’s milk and this recipe contains no products from cows.
