A rich and creamy garlic mushroom soup paired with crispy Parmesan toast for a comforting and indulgent meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces button mushrooms, sliced thin
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • French baguette or crusty bread, sliced into thick pieces
  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Clean and slice 12 ounces (340g) of button mushrooms. If using other varieties like cremini or shiitake, slice them thinly.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic (4 cloves, minced) and sauté for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown and fragrant.
  3. Toss in one diced yellow onion and cook for another 5 minutes until softened.
  4. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a soup pot. Add 4 cups (960ml) of chicken or vegetable stock and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 cup (240ml) of heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
  6. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half and leave the rest as is.
  7. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice a baguette into thick pieces and arrange them on a baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy.
  8. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot with Parmesan toast on the side.

Notes

[‘Let the mushrooms caramelize fully for maximum flavor.’, ‘If using a countertop blender, let the soup cool slightly before blending to avoid splatters.’, ‘This soup tastes even better the next day after the flavors meld together.’, ‘Feel free to add an extra clove or two of garlic for a stronger flavor.’]
