Before serving the Gluten-Free Mushroom Soup, stir it well to ensure the creamy texture is consistent throughout. Ladle the soup into individual bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme to add a burst of freshness and enhance the flavors.

If there are any leftovers, transfer the soup to an airtight container and refrigerate. The soup will maintain its freshness and flavors for up to 3 days in the fridge. This makes it an excellent option for preparing meals ahead of time.

Reheating Instructions:

For optimal results, reheat the soup gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally until it is evenly warmed.

Cover the soup with a lid or a microwave-safe cover to retain moisture, and heat it in short intervals, stirring in between to ensure even heating.
