Creamy Mushroom Soup π✨
This rich and velvety mushroom soup has deep, earthy flavors and a luxurious creamy texture. Made with fresh mushrooms, aromatic garlic, and a touch of cream, it’s the perfect comforting bowl for a chilly day.
Ingredients:
2 cups mushrooms (button, cremini, or mixed), sliced
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp butter (or olive oil)
3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version)
1 tbsp flour (for thickening)
½ tsp dried thyme (or 1 tsp fresh)
Salt & black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
-
-
Melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic, sautΓ©ing until they become soft and fragrant.
-
-
-
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and turn golden brown.
-
-
-
Sprinkle in the flour, stirring well to coat the mushrooms. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
-
Slowly pour in the broth, stirring continuously. Add thyme, salt, and black pepper. Let it simmer for 10 minutes.

Blend for a Smooth Texture (Optional) π€
-
For a creamy, smooth soup, use an immersion blender or transfer to a blender and blend until silky. If you prefer a chunkier soup, skip this step.
-
-
-
Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let it warm up (but don’t boil). Adjust seasoning if needed.
-
-
-
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a drizzle of cream. Enjoy with crusty bread or garlic toast!

Bonus Tip: Add a splash of white wine while cooking the mushrooms for extra depth of flavor! π·
