Notes

For a richer flavor, consider using a mix of different types of mushrooms such as cremini and shiitake. If you prefer a thinner soup, you can adjust the consistency by adding more broth. Remember to taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, especially after adding the cream, as this can mellow out the flavors.
