Creamy Mushroom Soup

Notes
Tip! If you are not planning to eat the soup immediately, cover the hot soup with cling film so that it directly touches it. In this way it won’t create a thick layer at the top. When you warm the soup again, make sure that it properly boils for a few minutes and add some water if it feels too thick.
