Let\u2019s start with the basic stuff: slice the mushrooms and chop the onion. You can slice your mushrooms any way you want. But for that picture-perfect look, follow my lead and slice like you see in the picture below. [OPTIONAL] Reserve a few mushroom slices for garnish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/eu.intelligentlabs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/keto-mushroom-soup-01-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"mushroom onion for keto recipe\" title=\"mushroom onion for keto recipe\"\/ class=\"wp-image-140991\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eu.intelligentlabs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/keto-mushroom-soup-01-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/eu.intelligentlabs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/keto-mushroom-soup-01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eu.intelligentlabs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/keto-mushroom-soup-01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eu.intelligentlabs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/keto-mushroom-soup-01-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/eu.intelligentlabs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/keto-mushroom-soup-01.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Heat the butter in a deep pot and saut\u00e9 the mushrooms with the onions for 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour in the broth, bring to a boil and let it simmer for a good 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eu.intelligentlabs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/keto-mushroom-soup-02-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"saute mushroom for keto recipe\" title=\"saute mushroom for keto recipe\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Using a stick blender or a food processor, blend the rest of the soup to a thick and velvety consistency. Then add the cream, mix well, and cook for 5 more minutes over low heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/eu.intelligentlabs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/keto-mushroom-soup-03.jpg\" alt=\"mushroom slices for garnish - keto recipe\" title=\"mushroom slices for garnish \u2013 keto recipe\"\/ class=\"wp-image-140998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eu.intelligentlabs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/keto-mushroom-soup-03.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/eu.intelligentlabs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/keto-mushroom-soup-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eu.intelligentlabs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/keto-mushroom-soup-03-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eu.intelligentlabs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/keto-mushroom-soup-03-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>4.

Hint: it\u2019s the most popular and most widely cultivated mushroom in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alright, I\u2019ll spill the \u2018shrooms, erm, the beans:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mushroom we\u2019ve used in this keto recipe is none other than&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Agaricus_bisporus\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Agaricus bisporus<\/em><\/a>. When immature, this species comes in two different colors \u2013 white and brown. It also goes by a few different names, which can be quite confusing for a lot of folks. Here\u2019s a guide to help you out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>White<\/strong>\u00a0immature\u00a0<em>agaricus bisporus<\/em>\u00a0are more commonly known as white button, common, champignon, and cultivated mushroom.\u00a0<strong>As you can see in the photos above, this is the type of mushroom used in our special keto mushroom soup recipe.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brown<\/strong>\u00a0immature\u00a0<em>agaricus bisporus\u00a0<\/em>go by the names cremini, Swiss\/Roman\/Italian brown, classic brown, and chestnut mushroom.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When either color variety\u00a0<strong>matures<\/strong>, they get a new name, too: portobello mushroom.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whew! That\u2019s a lot of names for a single type of mushroom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said,&nbsp;<strong>you can use any of these&nbsp;<em>Agaricus bisporus<\/em>&nbsp;varieties to cook up this keto creamy mushroom soup recipe.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alright, on to the next mushrooms on our list\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But first, did you know there are over 10,000 different kinds of mushrooms out there? Most of them won\u2019t be edible and mushroom poisoning is a very real thing. If you want to avoid running into potential health issues, it\u2019s best to stick to cultivated and farm grown mushrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are some widely available mushroom varieties you\u2019ll find at the supermarket or your local farmers markets:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Oyster mushroom<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 these mushrooms taste sweet and delicate with a tender texture. Fresh or canned, these mushrooms will add some wonderful flavor to your soup!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shiitake mushroom<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 these mushrooms have a meaty and slightly woodsy flavor. It\u2019s best to use fresh shiitake because dried ones have a very intense flavor which may not do well in this particular recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enoki mushroom<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 if you want to have a noodle-type experience with your mushroom soup, then use enoki. These are crisp and stringy, so it will add a nice crunch to your keto mushroom soup!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shimeji mushroom<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 these taste bitter when eaten raw. Fortunately, this recipe calls for saut\u00e9ing the mushrooms, so you\u2019ll get none of that bitterness, only the nuttiness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Porcini mushroom<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 this is best cooked fresh, but if you only have dried ones available in your area, you can soak it in hot water for about 15-20 minutes before cooking. This will add a slightly meaty and nutty flavor to our keto creamy mushroom soup recipe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, if you want to use a combination of your favorite mushrooms, you\u2019re welcome to do so! Feel free to tweak our recipe and make it your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Homecooked vs canned mushroom soup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I personally don\u2019t know anybody who doesn\u2019t love mushroom soup. People usually love it because it\u2019s comforting, cozy and warm. Something you would want to make when you\u2019re craving some comfort food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Home-cooked mushroom soup will almost always taste better than any canned soup out there. I know canned or bagged soups are the more convenient options \u2013 you just add some hot water to the soup base and voila! You\u2019re eating hot soup in minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, of course, canned soup isn\u2019t good for keto. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First off, it\u2019s not&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ie.intelligentlabs.org\/keto-diet-food-list\/\">made for keto<\/a>, so it won\u2019t meet keto\u2019s macronutrient requirements (70% fat, 25% protein, 5% carbs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, it may have a lot more sodium and\/or sugar added to the mix, which can impact your diet \u2013 and your health \u2013 negatively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, this special creamy mushroom soup is easy enough to prepare. The ingredients are widely available, and you only need 35 minutes to get from preparing the dish to eating it at the dinner table!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final words<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m excited for you to try out this special recipe for keto mushroom soup (with bacon, if I may add). It will satisfy your taste buds and I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if you eat everything in one sitting! Now, this recipe serves 4. But if you\u2019re doing OMAD (one meal a day) in addition to keto, then this will be the perfect high-fat, medium-protein, and low-carb dish for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the ultimate keto version of comfort food.
