Manufaktur U My creamiest porcini soup. Cream of mushroom soup with porcini, button mushrooms, cream, and white wine, ready to serve in a tin.

Manufaktur U My creamiest porcini soup is a cream of mushroom soup based on meat stock, with cream, button mushrooms, white wine, and 4% porcini mushroom pieces, thickened with rice flour. It comes ready to serve in a 400 ml tin.

Porcini soup from Manufaktur U is a cream soup, meaning a soup that owes its creaminess primarily to the cream. Two varieties provide the mushroom flavor. Button mushrooms provide a mild, well-rounded mushroom note and make up the majority. Porcini mushrooms contribute the earthy, nutty quality for which they are so prized in the kitchen. They are included as pieces at 4%. The base is a meat stock made from soup bones, celery, carrots, leeks, and onions. White wine adds freshness, and rice flour binds the soup to a velvety consistency. It is seasoned with salt, pepper, and spices, including mustard seeds and celery.

Taste: velvety, earthy, with a fresh note of white wine

My creamiest porcini soup tastes mild and full-bodied. The cream creates a soft, round base upon which the mushrooms take center stage. The button mushrooms provide an even mushroom flavor, while the porcini mushrooms add darker, spicy accents. The white wine brings a light acidity so that the soup does not feel too heavy despite the cream. The meat stock provides strength in the background. Pepper and spices remain restrained, letting the mushrooms take the lead. This gives the soup the taste of the forest and autumn without any single spice standing out.

Anyone looking for a vegetarian mushroom soup will not find it here, as its base is meat stock. It is also not suitable for those with a milk allergy due to the cream.

Usage: as a starter in autumn or as a light meal

Pour the contents of the tin into a pot and heat slowly while stirring. Because it contains cream, it is better to just let the soup get hot rather than bringing it to a rolling boil. One tin provides one portion as a main lunch or two small starters.

A few drops of good oil, some chopped parsley, or a few thyme leaves on top are enough. It goes well with a piece of baguette or walnut bread. If you want more mushrooms, sauté fresh button mushrooms or king oyster mushrooms in butter and add them to the bowl. In autumn, the soup pairs well before a game dish, a roast, or pasta. For guests, serve it in small cups. Store the unopened tin in a cool, dry place; the best-before date is on the tin.

Our tip: Cut bacon cubes or white bread cubes into small pieces and fry them in a pan until crispy. Sprinkle them over the soup just before serving; this provides a nice contrast to the creamy consistency.

Origin: the variety with the pink label

The porcini soup stands out in our range. It has its own pink label with a mushroom pattern, and the tin says “Cream soup with porcini” instead of a “My…” name. In our shop, it is still called My creamiest porcini soup so that it fits into the family of the other varieties. So, if your tin looks different from the others, you have received the right one.

Like all varieties, it belongs to Manufaktur U, the own-brand soup line from Leni & Hans in Nordhorn. The brand was founded by Kerstin and Stephan Uhlenbusch. It is cooked for us by a manufacturer they selected and then filled into tins.

For whom: for everyone who loves creamy mushroom soups

The soup is perfect for everyone who likes mushrooms and is looking for a quick, creamy soup. It is a good starter for autumn and winter and an uncomplicated lunch with bread. It is also well-received as a gift for mushroom foragers and forest walkers. As the second cream soup in the range, there is the Cream of game soup with venison dumplings. For something fruitier, there is the Tomato soup with basil dumplings. You can find all varieties at Manufaktur U.

Allergen information: According to the list of ingredients, the soup contains celery, milk (cream), and mustard; the label on the tin is the binding source.
