How to Make Mushroom Soup Into a Hearty and Filling Meal
Step 1
Pour a packet of Knorr Cream of Mushroom Soup into a pot of water. Bring to a boil while stirring. Add chicken fillet cubes and let simmer for two minutes. Add the vegetables.
Step 2
Once all the ingredients are tender and cooked through, take off the heat. Serve warm.
Top your bowl of mushroom soup with croutons for added carbs and crunch, or serve it with a slice of toast. If you can’t get enough of that mushroom-y umami, feel free to add fresh mushrooms to the pot. Go for large portobellos if you’re craving a meaty, chewy texture. Want a super flavor-packed option? Dried shiitake mushrooms are your best bet.
You can also turn this mushroom soup recipe vegetarian by skipping the chicken. Replace it with legumes like lentils, chickpeas, or beans, so you don’t miss out on essential protein.
