Now, let’s gather our ingredients and get started on this tasty dish:
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button mushrooms)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for added flavor)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onions and cook until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Next, add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the pot. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden brown and have released their moisture, approximately 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while continuously stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow it to cook for 15 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can blend only half of the soup.
- Return the pot to medium heat and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow it to heat through, but do not let it boil.
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Pair it with some crusty bread and enjoy!
This Cream of Mushroom Soup is a wonderful blend of earthiness and creaminess that warms your heart and soul. Perfect for any day that calls for a little comfort food!
