🥘 What You'll Need
Here are the ingredients you will need to make this soup:
Ingredients
- Butter
- Onion
- Mushrooms
- Parsley
- Heavy Cream
- Salt
- Pepper
Additional ingredients if making cream of soup from the condensed version:
- Milk (Use nonfat or 2% . You can use whole milk but it will very rich).

I used 1 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp of pepper
1 Tbsp parsley
I think 3 tsp of salt as recipe recommended is way to much
Debbie
I made that mistake. I thought about it before I did it, but did it anyway. I ended up adding another cup and a half of heavy cream. It was still salty, but usable in the stroganoff recipe. Just thought I would warn others. Otherwise, delicious!
Kori
Thank you so much for your feedback! It's super helpful to hear! 🙂 I am going to adjust the recipe down to 2 teaspoons of kosher salt.

It making a Keto version, would you substitute the milk with heavy whipping cream, almond milk, or a combo of both?
Kori
You could definitely substitute. I usually use heavy whipping cream and/or half and half.
