Description
Hearty, Earthy Mushroom Soup with Velvety Cream and a Touch of Garlic for a Comforting Bowl of Goodness
Ingredients
500g mushrooms, sliced (button, oyster, cremini, or shiitake)
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent (about 5 minutes).
Add the sliced mushrooms, stir to coat with the butter mixture, and cook for 8–10 minutes until tender and caramelized.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir continuously for 2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Simmer for 15–20 minutes, allowing the soup to thicken and flavors to meld.
Stir in the heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Remove from heat. Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers.
