I'm vegetarian, so I opted for veggie broth instead of chicken or beef and found that as a result, I needed to add a touch more salt, but nothing major. I also added about 50% more cream because I needed to have a higher yield. But heres the thing... I only blended up about 75% of the soup, and mixed it in with the unblended stuff to serve. It made for a few delightful chunks - I highly recommend it! Thank you so much for such a delightful blog! I am forever checking what you're making and happily emulating!

I've got to make a "teacher appreciation" soup on Friday and need to know if I should double this dreamy-looking recipe or not. Thanks! I’m with Vanessa, what’s the yield on this?

I wonder does this recipe come out too badly if you just bung everything in the pot together and simmer till the mushrooms et al are cooked? This is how my Mum makes hers and it's always super tasty! Might be an option if you're really in a rush...? Mmmmm, mushroom soup – up there with pumpkin in ‘Greatest Soup of All Time’ surely?

Both whip! It's often just the difference of a couple percentage points of butterfat. Emilie — You can usually use them interchangeably. Both whip!

I have often seen heavy cream as an ingredient. I assumed it was the same thing as whipping cream, which his the "heaviest" fat-wise, at 35%. But then I saw a recipe in my book that called for heavy cream in a cake, and then whipping cream in the frosting, leading me to believe they are not the same thing at all. I have searched my grocery store high and low looking for heavy cream, and I can't find any. Would you please be able to tell me what it is? Thanks! A question about cream.
