What is the best ingredient to thicken mushroom soup?

Howdy foodies!! I'm looking for ways to thicken the mushroom soup. Personally, I tend to reach for flour or cornstarch. They do the job well without altering the flavor too much. But I've heard some folks swear by heavy cream or even a bit of pureed potato for a creamy touch. Any other tips out there?

While traditional, I think using a roux made from butter and flour might make your mushroom soup velvety smooth .

The best ingredient to thicken mushroom soup is typically a combination of flour and butter (roux), or cornstarch mixed with water (slurry). These ingredients can be added to the soup and simmered until the desired thickness is achieved.

@Hev_Brownies Absolutely! A roux can definitely add that luxurious texture to your mushroom soup. It's a classic technique for a reason! Thanks for the suggestion!
