Creamy mushroom soup
Creamy mushroom soup is a delicious and comforting soup made with a creamy base, typically using a combination of mushrooms, broth, cream, and seasonings. It has a rich, earthy flavor from the mushrooms and a velvety texture from the cream.
Ingredients
- 1 pound mushrooms sliced
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, and cook until they are soft and fragrant.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in the broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the soup to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Using an immersion blender or regular blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Be careful when blending hot liquids.
- Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
- Serve the creamy mushroom soup hot, garnished with fresh thyme or parsley on top. Enjoy!
