smokeybandit Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 I wonder how "wild" those mushrooms actually are. Or do they call it that due to the wild supply chain issues they've had AlmondFarmer, WAAAYTOOO and AHollyS 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TracyRevell Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 We noticed on Odyssey they had removed it from Chops, but did have it in the MDR. It's one of my favourite soups! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexster Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 For what it's worth, on the Royal app Chops menu for my May sailing, it lists the Mushroom Soup. Can't wait to try! WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChanaC Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 Just check the menu for Quantum as it makes it's way to Alaska. Looks like it's in the MDR. When it's in the MDR, is it a different recipe than when it's in Chops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 They served the Mushroom Soup on the Adventure of the Seas in the WIndjammer on the first night of our cruise last week. I spent the rest of the cruise trying to get another serving of that soup and did not find it again. Looked in the main dining room and the Windjammer Cafe every night and never saw it again. It was some of the best soup I have ever eaten. Would love to have the recipe for it. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike n Ky Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 Love me some wild mushroom soup. Hence I do the MDR first night, since it's always on the menu then, and get some at Chops. It was AWOL on Allure back in January, as was mushrooms for omelets, but indulged last month on our 7 day Navigator cruise.

VBmom87 Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 On Oasis right now. I have been dying to get the soup at Chops since before COVID. So disappointed. It is NOT the same. It was fine, but not nearly as good. It was dark brown instead, and no mushroom garnish. It's like they tried a new recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are correct. In Mario Kart mushrooms increase speed, so likely also true on a cruise ship. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike2608 Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 The wild mushroom soup looks tasty, I can't wait to try it. I am also looking forward, and hopefully they will have it on the menu is the mushroom risotto. I make a decent risotto at home and am looking forward to the risotto on the Symphony OTS.

20watts Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 Good Day to everyone, I am new here, but this is one topic I felt I needed to weigh in on…We (the family) took our vacation on RC for the first time(cruise many times in the past just not on RC), and we were excited for the RC experience. As we were boarding on the departure day, one of the crew stopped us as we were in line to get on the boat. The Crew member was offering packages to us from Picture packages to dining room discounts (and their ever famous Coffee drink package), So after listening to their spiel we decided on the drink package (10% off the list price) and Dinner in the Chops Restaurant(20% off list price to eat on the first night). Side Note: If you plan to do something offered by the ship, look for those crew members, or go to the room/office for that specific service/food. Ask the attendee if they have any specials for the first day of the cruise. You can ask if they have any specials. especially if you do not plan on getting off the boat when in port, you can get some really good discounts. It was about dinner time on the first night ( it was also my Birthday), we arrived at our reservation time, and were seated immediately. This restaurant was reminiscent of Ruth's Chris Steak House back home, with the dark décor. After the introductions and drink orders were taken, We start looking over the menu and right off the bat I saw the Mushroom soup and became almost fixated on the soup ( trying New things on cruises was a must growing up from my dad). Actually on my very first cruise I took as a child is where I found my love of soups to be wonderful and others would not be my first choice as a last meal… Now I am not sure what I ate for the other courses, I know I ate a salad and appetizer and I think I got the Filet as my meal. I was so taken by the flavors and complexity of the soup that I ordered another one for dessert!! We finished the cruise and made our way back home. I could not get the flavors out of my mind, and told anyone who would listen about the RC mushroom soup. We booked our next cruise a year or so later and I was so excited to get the soup that I could not stop talking about it. I again got a discount for the first night at chops ( we are not talking about an expensive meal at $20 per person+10% or 15%discount for dining on a slow night). This was the trip I was going to pig out on this soup. On the First night dinner I ordered soup as my in between courses, course. So if you are keeping track, that would be ( getting soup delivered between all courses) Soup, Soup, Salad, Soup, Appetizer, Soup, Meal, Soup, Desert, Soup. wanted to get soup in a geaux cup but my wife said no more( telling me that the boat was the only thing that should be floating. Not able to get the soup of my mind, I convinced the group (the people we were in the ship with) to return one more night before we disembarked for home. The second night (day 4 of a 7 day cruise) I ordered my soup in moderation from the last time. Instead of ordering the soup 6 times I cut it down to 3. On the Last night of the cruise, eating in the dining room I just wanted nothing but soup. The Maître d stopped at our table and asked if there was anything she could get for us. Before my wife had a chance to answer, I blurted out Mushroom Soup from Chop’s. I began to tell her about my love for this soup. She told me she would look into it, as they normally do not bring food from other restaurants. Disappointedly I went back to my meal, as she walked away. Now I was sure that I had to wait until our next cruise to taste the sweet nectar of the RC!! Just about the time we finished with our meal the waiter came with what I thought was desert. To my surprise he sits down, not one but two bowls of mushroom soup!!!! Elated, I thanked him and started in on the best dessert ever!!! Just about the time I was scraping the bottom of the first bowl, the Maître d stopped back by and asked if I was enjoying my soup. As I persisted to tell her my saga of the RC Mushroom Soup, a man dressed in Chef Whites, walked up behind her. I told her I wish I could eat this daily, when she turned to introduce the person In his Chef Whites, as the Soup Chef. He asked what I liked about the soup? I persisted to tell him the short version of the story. Pleased with my answer he handed me a piece of paper… On the Printed paper was the Recipe for the RC “Forest Mushroom Soup Scented with White Truffle Oil”!!! Dumbfounded, my wife had never seen me without anything to say, I stuttered to find the words I was only able to get out a choking THANK YOU!!!! I was so impressed that the Soup Chef took time out from the busiest time of the day to make my year!! I slowly folded the Paper and put it in the most secure place I had to me at the time, the room safe with the passports and other things we needed to keep safe. The whole way home I talked about the ability to make this soup any time I wanted to. We arrived home and I really looked at the recipe, as I was afraid that if someone knew about it I would have it taken from me. This is when I noticed the quantities of the ingredients… 4 gallons of Cream, 21 lb of Mushrooms, wtf, was this for feeding bigfoot or an army? This is when I realized (with the help of my wife), this was the Ship size portion and was what they had to make for the ship per day. Just about 5 months after we took that cruise, I lost my battle with Kidney Disease, and was required to start Dialysis. Because of Dialysis, I have not been able to cruise due to the cost and limited availability of the “dialysis at sea” program. That was just about 6 years ago, and I can no longer remember the taste of the soup. I think about finding a recipe that is close to the Super Sized Bowl version that was so graciously given to me. Every so often I would do a search online hoping I could find something with similar ingredients, to no avail. Now it did not help. I was not calling it by the soup name, I just searched for RC mushroom soup, this did not bode well for my search, as none of the recipes I stumbled upon, were ever close to the list of ingredients in the recipe I was given. Yesterday while looking through some “Important Documents” I came across the recipe. Thinking to myself I am going to break down this to a manageable amount of ingredients to serve about 4. This is when ( looking up Mushroom types and where to get them), I came across this post. I was so happy that I finally found a post on the soup I loved so much. I hope you will cherish the Recipe I am sharing with you, and may help me break down the mounts to a manageable amount.. Please enjoy the gift I was given and enjoy it!!!!!

WAAAYTOOO Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 @20watts, your post made me tear up. As a fellow admirer of the cream of mushroom soup, I understand your obsession. I hope you found a way to downsize this recipe to work for you. I chuckled when I read the original ingredient list. Too funny. Best of luck in your health recovery and happy eating !

Lexster Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 So, I imported the recipe into Recipe Keeper and used its conversion capability to reduce it to 1/8 serving size and this is what I got back. Looks reasonable. Unfortunately, I don't know how much a "tub" of mushroom base is, but they do sell small jars of Mushroom base in grocery stores. You could follow the directions on that for a reasonable comparison. You could also potentially half /this/ set of ingredients if this is still too much, but i think this would make a decent-sized pot of soup. EDIT: Wow, think I found the tub, actually. https://www.walmart.com/ip/MINOR-S-Mushroom-Base-16-oz-Tub/345967092 $104 bucks for a 16 oz tub. Must be pretty potent stuff! 3 hours ago, 20watts said: I did See it and the one they posted was slightly different ingrediencies, which is why I wanted to Show the actual paper I was given on my last cruise (which was 6 years ago because of Dialysis) I am currently working on getting it down to a manageable size and where you can get/order any of the ingrediency that might be difficult fine in your area.
