gramsKeto Chow recently released a new flavor created by yours truly – cream of mushroom. I designed this flavor to be used in soups, sauces and gravies. In this recipe, I take the standard mushroom soup to an entirely new level of richness and flavor.
Ingredients
8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced or chopped (230g) *see note
8 TB butter (120g) *see note
2 cups beef broth (475mL)
4 TB cream cheese (60g) *see note
1 packet Keto Chow Cream of Mushroom
salt and pepper to taste
- Optional
1 TB dry sherry (15mL)
Directions
- In a large sauce pan or medium stockpot over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the mushrooms until golden brown (10-15 minutes).
- Strain the mushrooms through a sieve, collecting the melted mushroom-infused butter in a bowl.
- Add the beef broth to the pot and deglaze the pot by scraping any mushroom bits off the the bottom.
- Return the melted butter to the pot, along with the cream cheese and optional dry sherry and cook over medium low heat until the cream cheese has mostly melted.
- Add the Keto Chow and blend with an immersion blender.
- Add the sautéed mushrooms back to the soup and cook for another 5-10 minutes.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.

Notes
- For this recipe, I just used white mushrooms. Feel free to use whatever variety of mushroom you prefer.
- In the video, I started with 4TB of butter, but the mushrooms had mostly absorbed it all after sauteing and I added 4 additional TB. You could just use an entire stick from the start.
- For any recipes where I use cream cheese, I always use the Philadelphia brand.
When do you add the parmesan?
Mystery solved! Cronometer told me it was Parmesan, not cream cheese; and I didn’t catch the mistake. :/-) So now what do I do with this huge chunk of Parmesan I bought? 😉 (rhetorical question folks).
It’s good! Made it exactly as directed, including the dry sherry and Philadelphia brand cream cheese. I deducted 1 star because there was a slight artificial flavor I didn’t care for, which I’m ascribing to the Keto Chow. In the future I will make mushroom bisque from scratch and save the mushroom soup KC for another recipe. But this bisque is quick, easy and you won’t be disappointed. I’m looking forward to trying baked potato next. Thanks Steve!
Clarification: if I were to rate it, I’d give 4 of 5 stars. 🙂
