Creamy Mushroom Soup

Ingredients

  • 400g mixed mushrooms
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • Fresh thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Chef's Note

For best results, use a mix of mushroom varieties like button, cremini, and shiitake for complex flavors.

Instructions

1

Sauté Aromatics

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, cook until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

2

Cook Mushrooms

Add sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they release their moisture and become tender, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

3

Add Stock and Simmer

Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.

4

Blend for Texture

Using an immersion blender, blend about half of the soup to create a creamy texture while keeping some chunks for interest.

5

Finish with Cream

Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme. Heat through but don't boil. Adjust seasoning and serve hot with crusty bread.
