Creamy Mushroom & Pearl Couscous Soup, packed with earthy mushrooms, hearty pearl couscous, tangy dill, paprika and cream.

For those days you need something deeply comforting, this mushroom soup has your back.

With minimal prep and cook time, this soup recipe comes together in just 30 minutes making it perfect for a weeknight meal. That means more time relaxing and less time worrying about dinner.

  • Servings- 4 (about 2 cups each)
  • Total Time- 30 minutes
Creamy Mushroom & Pearl Couscous Soup

Mushroom & Couscous Soup Ingredients:

  • Butter- salted or unsalted
  • Shallot- minced. Can you substitute onions? Yes! However keep in mind that shallots are more delicate in flavor, a bit sweeter and less intense than regular onion.
  • Garlic- minced.
  • Baby Bella Mushrooms- baby bella mushrooms are earthier and meatier than white button mushrooms, making them a perfect pairing with richer flavors.
  • Beef Broth- beef broth has a strong, rich, robust flavor making it a great match for mushrooms. If you'd like to make this vegetarian, you can substitute vegetable broth.
  • White Wine- this is important! White wine adds acidity to the soup which really brings out the flavors. If you'd like to substitute the wine, try a splash of white wine vinegar instead.
  • Worcestershire Sauce- to deepen the flavor.
  • Spices- Salt, pepper, dried dill, paprika, and dried thyme
  • Pearl Couscous or Israeli Couscous- Pearl couscous is much bigger than regular couscous with a soft, chewy mouth feel. They are very hearty, perfect for a cozy soup or stew. If you are unable to pearl couscous, it can be substituted with a small pasta such as orzo or ditalini.
  • Half and Half- half and half is a mixture of half whole milk and half cream, and can be found in the coffee creamer section of most grocery stores. It's lighter and has less fat than regular cream.
  • Sour cream- for garnish and a nice contrast to the robust flavors of the soup.
  • Crusty Bread- for serving

How To Make Soup Vegetarian:

For vegetarian soup, substitute beef broth with vegetable broth. To make vegan, replace butter with olive oil. Coconut milk can be used in place of half & half. It will give your soup a bit more sweetness, but is a nice contrast to the more savory flavors.

How to Serve Creamy Mushroom & Couscous Soup:

  • This soup is hearty enough to be eaten on it's own, but crusty bread is always a good idea!
Mushroom Soup- Must Love Garlic

How to Make Mushroom Soup:

  • Cook Vegetables: Add butter to a large pot over medium heat. Allow to melt, but not brown. Add sliced baby bella mushroom, minced shallot, & minced garlic to pot. Cook and stir for 2 minutes until aromatic.

  • Add Seasoning, Broth, and Couscous: Sprinkle dried dill, dried thyme, and paprika into pot and stir. Whisk in Worcestershire sauce, white wine, and beef broth. Taste and season with salt & pepper. Bring pot to a boil, pour in couscous, and cover pot with a lid. Turn heat down to medium and simmer for 20 minutes.

  • Finish & Plate: Check couscous for doneness. It should be soft and chewy. Add more time if needed. Once couscous is done, remove pot from heat and stir in half & half. Serve with sour cream & crusty bread.

Leftovers:

  • Store- store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Soup will keep for 2-3 days. If you would like to freeze soup, make and freeze the soup base only (stop recipe before adding pearl couscous & cream). The soup base will last in the freezer for up to 3 months. Once ready to cook, allow to thaw, add to large pot and continue with recipe.

  • Reheat-reheat soup in a saucepan over low heat. Stir and simmer until warmed through.

    Fantastic soup recipe! One of my family members described it as, "the flavors of mushrooms on top of a steak... but as a soup!" I used apple cider vinegar in place of white wine and a white onion instead of a shallot because that's all I had. But the flavor was so rich and addictive.. I'd highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking to try something new!

        This is my new favorite mushroom soup! and I LOVE mushroom soup!
        Prepapred for vegan/ vegetarian (not me) in mind, so I did use non-dairy alternatives and McCormick beef style all vegetable boullion cubes instead of beef stock. I didn't use Worcestershire, I use a hoisin, apple cider vinegar and tamari mix as an actual "substitute ". I feel like nothing was changed to upset/ change the flavor of the recipe.
        It's been requested numerous times since.
        Highly recommend!

    Second time we've made this - delicious! It's like a lighter, deconstructed mushroom pierogi. Easy to make, and easy to substitute other ingredients, like onion for shallots or milk for half and half. We cut down on the amount of beef broth and subbed water since we were short in our pantry. We had fresh dill on hand both times, so we used that instead! Reheats well for leftovers too.
    All around great recipe, thank you!

    Absolutely delicious. I made the recipe as directed and added an extra dash of Worcestershire sauce and about 2 tsp of umami powder. You could easily forgo the cream as the broth base is delicious. Mushrooms are a favorite and I love a stew. Next time I will increase mushroom volume, decrease the broth by 1/2c and maybe use less cream. Great recipe. Very much looking forward to trying others!

    This recipe is delicious, especially the day after. I ended up adding some fresh lemon juice and pepper vinegar to get it some extra twang it seemed to be missing. I followed the recipe exactly including the wine but it just seemed to need an extra punch of something acidic.

    Shockingly good for how easy this is to prepare. I also live full time in an RV, and cooking well ain't easy. Thought I would just be making a simple soup for my lunches at work, but this is so good that it can be served to guests as a meal. Even my mushroom-disliking husband is impressed. Thanks for the delicious recipe!

      You can absolutely use fresh dill! A general rule of thumb for the dried-to-fresh herb ratio is 1(dried):3(fresh), so for this you'd use closer to 1-1.5 tsp finely chopped fresh dill.

      October 11, 2022 at 1:33 pm

      Hi, Sean! Right after adding the broth, you need to turn up the heat to bring it to a boil. Once it begins to bubble, pour in couscous, cover with a lid, and turn the heat back down to medium. This ensures the broth has come to the proper temperature and will maintain a gentle simmer.

    When I made this, it came out more like a risotto and less brothy. I am at high altitude and cook with gas, and wonder if that affected the cous cous? The recipe was still delicious! I buy mushrooms from a local grower, and used Oyster mushrooms, but I don’t think they soaked up the broth. Anyway was trying to figure out what to add/when to change it up for more of a soup… I might try using half the amount of cous couscous next time.

    I really enjoyed this soup but it was much thinner than the picture makes it look (and I even eliminate 1.5 cups of broth because I only had a 4 cup container in the cupboard. I could’ve double the couscous for the amount of liquid I had. I wonder if I could’ve gone wrong somewhere? Anyways we still loved it and I’ll make it again. Looking forward to trying it in the summer with fresh herbs. I live in a tiny house so I love one pot, easy and tasty recipes for the winter.

      I felt the same way. I don't think you did a thing wrong, mine was the exact same. I do LOVE broth, but next time I'll add more pearl couscous and add a thickener, like xanthan gum, to thicken the broth a bit. Otherwise it was sooooo yummy!

    As is I would give a 4-4.5/5. With “more” of many proportions (dried herbs and worscestershire sauce especially, and the wine) a 5/5.

    Personally I prefer it with cream instead of half and half, and no sour cream, but those are just personal preferences

    This soup turned out SOOO good! My only comment for those trying it out is to keep in mind that when the recipe calls to taste and season, the flavors are going to dramatically change. The white wine still has quite a bite when you taste right after adding it, so I would almost recommend waiting to taste it after it cooks down but before stirring in the half and half.

    The flavors were incredible and it was so easy to make. I am a timid and easily-overwhelmed cook and this was just perfect for me. My partner is the chef in our home and they were super impressed! This will definitely be added to the frequent rotation this fall and winter, and I can't wait to try more Must Love Garlic recipes!

      Very yummy. I am making it for the second time today. I doubled the spices this time. I may add a little more couscous this time too. It’s perfect just the way it is, but I really like strong flavors. I agree with others, the couscous adds a fun texture. I also added a total of six cups of broth and just a little extra white wine.

      This was delicious! Made this for my boyfriend and his parents and they loved it! My boyfriend has a severe seafood allergy so I substituted the Worcester for liquid amino acids and some dashes of maggi liquid seasoning. I did feel like it was missing something and added some chicken bouillon and it turned out so good! Thanks for sharing, I will be making this again.

    This is absolutely delicious! The depth and balance of the flavors is fantastic. We did 1/2 shiitake mushrooms, splash of ACV as a sub for wine, coconut milk/coconut yogurt for the creams. Worked beautifully!

    Better late than never! This soup is as good now as it was in 2022. The work to payoff ratio is the best part: little work, big flavor. Even my non-mushroom loving husband loved it.

    I subbed the beef broth and half and half to make it vegan. Delicious!

    I LOVE mushrooms and pearl cous cous, so I had to make this. I’ve actually made it 3 times, as written and it’s so perfect. I slightly prefer it with 4
    cups of broth, over 5 but, this recipe is so great!

    Can I substitute Thyme for the Dill? This sounds delish & I would like to make tonight. TIA, Erica

      Absolutely! Thyme is much more mellow and herbaceous than the potent tang of dill but still works really well with the overall flavor profile of this recipe. I hope you enjoy it, Erica!

    So delicious! For my dairy-sensitive husband, I use olive oil instead of butter, and coconut milk instead of half & half. This is a staple in our winter rotation!
