Note

For a vegan version, substitute the milk and heavy cream with unsweetened soy milk and a dairy-free cream alternative.

Ensure the soup is cooled slightly before blending to prevent splattering and to achieve a smoother consistency.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, stirring occasionally.

You can use other dried wild mushrooms like chanterelles or shiitakes if porcini are unavailable, though the flavor profile will vary slightly.
