A rich and creamy mushroom soup that’s comforting, flavorful, and simple to prepare—perfect for chilly evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 16 ounces mushrooms (mix of button and cremini), cleaned and sliced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme, optional
  • Parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  3. Add the mushrooms and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the mushrooms are evenly coated.
  5. Gradually pour in 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Once simmering, reduce the heat and cook for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If using a countertop blender, let the soup cool slightly before blending in batches.
  8. Return the soup to the pot and stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  9. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme and parsley. Let the soup simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
  10. Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad.

Notes

[‘Don’t rush the mushrooms—sauté them until deeply browned for the best flavor.’, ‘Use fresh mushrooms for the best earthy taste.’, ‘Blend carefully if using a countertop blender to avoid spills.’, ‘Adjust consistency by adding extra broth for a thinner soup or more cream for added richness.’, ‘Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning to your liking.’]
