Can fresh mushrooms be frozen?
Yes, but there is not much point. Assuming the package has not been opened and the mushrooms exposed to air, it's better to just store the package in a cupboard and save your freezer space for other things :)
If you freeze fresh fruit it tends to completely lose its shape when it is defrosted. This happens because the cells are broken when the water in them expands as it freezes. You can freeze fruit puree, fruit juice or foods with fresh fruit in them, but the fruit will not retain its texture. It also loses flavour the longer it is stored. Some berries can be frozen but special techniques are used; it's worth buying the pre packaged ones because you'll waste a lot of berries trying to work out how to do it.

To make a cream soup, you need a thickening agent. You can use a flour or starch (cornstarch, arrowroot, tapioca) or whatever else works. Remember to mix well the starch with room temperature water before adding to hot liquid. Otherwise the starch will not dissolve but will form clumps that are unappetizing and will feel "yuki" in your mouth.
