💭 Top tips

🥗 What to serve with
You can also serve it up with some healthy salads or crispy garlic bread to accompany that delicious homemade keto cream of mushroom soup.
Homemade Garlic Bread
For this, you want to grab yourself a bread loaf, slice it in half, and then crisp it up under a hot oven grill. While it is broiling, melt 50g butter, chop up a bunch of parsley and 3 cloves garlic, and then mix it in a bowl. Once the baguette is nice and crispy, spread the butter over it, top with 20g grated parmesan cheese, and broil for another 2 to 3 minutes. Finally, cut into strips and Enjoy!!
Healthy Spinach and Apple Salad
Start with 1 bag of spinach leaves (roughly 80g), cut 1 apple and 1 pear into slices, gently toast 100g walnuts in a frying pan with a drizzle of light maple syrup. Mix it all in a bowl with some balsamic vinegar and voilà, another tasty side.
Easy Arugula Salad
Made with only 5 ingredients and takes 5 minutes to prepare. This salad is perfect for accompanying any keto recipe. All you need is a bag of baby arugula leaves mixed with a generous helping of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Top with a small cup of onion (I use green, but you can use red or white) and 20g parmesan shavings. Simple yet satisfying.
🥫 Storage
Store cream of mushroom soup by letting it cool down in the pot you cooked it in. Then transfer it to the fridge with the lid covering it. If you do not have a lid to cover the pot, you can use cling film or aluminum foil.
Alternatively, you can transfer the cream of mushroom soup to an airtight container and then put it in the fridge for up to 5 days.
To serve, heat the soup in a pot.
Can you freeze fresh mushroom soup?
You can also freeze the soup if you want to store some for an extended period. Transfer the remaining keto cream of mushroom soup to an airtight container and pop it in the freezer for up to 6 months.
When you want to reheat the soup, thaw it overnight, then transfer it to a pot and bring it to the boil stirring from time to time.

You can leave out the arrow root if you let it simmer longer. . .a lot longer. Maybe forty five minutes longer, but the outcome is tastier. (I was out of arrowroot last time I made this recipe.)
