Freezing in the car?  Big bulky coats? Slippery roads? No, thank you! I will sit at home, next to the fire, Amazon Priming away, sipping on a bowl of cream of mushroom soup.  

Don’t get me wrong.  I love the snow! It’s beautiful.  But when it’s out – I like to grab a book and blanket and curl on the couch.  Just like my activities change in the winter, so does the food I enjoy. Winter brings a whole new level of love for comfort foods.  While I enjoy them all year long, there is just something about winter that makes me love them even more.

How to Make Crock Pot Cream of Mushroom Soup

Start by washing  and removing the stems from the mushrooms.  Save the stems for later. I used button mushrooms, but you can use any kind of edible mushroom!

Slice the mushroom caps and dice the stems and onion together. Saute the mushrooms and onion for roughly 3-5 mins or until tender. Then add it all to the slow cooker, aka Crock Pot.

Dice up some fresh rosemary leaves so they are same size as the thyme leaf. Then, add the rosemary and thyme mix to the slow cooker.

Mix the vegetable base and water together in a bowl and add to the slow cooker.

Pour in the cornstarch, salt, pepper,  bay leaf and heavy cream. Give it a stir and add the lid. Slow cook in the Crock Pot on high for 4 hours. Then stir and serve! Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.

If you desire, you can simmer the recipe on the stove instead.

I really hope that try this slow cooker creamy mushroom soup!  I promise, this soup might sound basic, but it so delicious that it tastes anything but basic.  It is surely to become one of your favorite soups too.
