Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb mixed mushrooms cremini, shiitake, button, etc., sliced
  • 1 teaspoon thyme fresh or dried
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary fresh or dried
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or substitute
  • 1/2 cup white wine optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender.
  3. If using, pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until reduced.
  4. Add the broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 15 minutes to blend the flavors.
  5. Stir in the cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. For a creamier texture, blend half of the soup using an immersion blender or regular blender (optional).
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use coconut milk or almond milk in place of cream.
  • To make it extra savory, add a small spoonful of miso paste for umami flavor.
