This creamy Mushroom Soup with White Wine & Herbs is a comforting and rich dish perfect for any season. The earthy flavor of mushrooms is enhanced with a touch of white wine, which adds depth and sophistication. Fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary infuse the soup with aromatic fragrances, while a creamy base creates a luxurious texture. Ideal for a cozy evening, this soup is both hearty and light, making it a perfect starter or light meal. Serve with crusty bread for an added touch of warmth and comfort.

Recipe Tips and Tricks:

Use a variety of mushrooms (e.g., cremini, shiitake, or porcini) for more depth of flavor.
For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or almond milk.
Be sure to let the wine reduce fully to avoid a strong alcohol flavor.
Add a touch of lemon juice at the end to balance the richness of the soup.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion finely chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
1 lb 450g mixed mushrooms, sliced
1 cup dry white wine
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 7-10 minutes until browned.
Pour in the white wine and cook for another 3-5 minutes until it reduces slightly.
Add vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
Puree the soup with an immersion blender until smooth (optional for a creamy texture).
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For added richness, use a splash of truffle oil when serving.
