Chilled carton mushroom soup is a ready-to-heat blended soup typically made from mushrooms, onion, cream or creme fraiche, stock, and seasoning. It provides B vitamins and some potassium from the mushrooms, and is moderate in calories (~60–90 kcal/100g). Cream-based versions are higher in saturated fat. Sodium content can be significant depending on the stock used. It is a useful convenience food for a light meal.
Heat gently on the hob rather than microwaving for a more even temperature and better texture — stir continuously to prevent the cream-based soup catching on the base of the pan. Serve with a slice of wholegrain bread for added fibre and to make it a more complete meal.
