Creamy Mushroom Soup

A rich and creamy soup filled with sautéed mushrooms and onions, perfect for a cozy evening.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cups mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and button), sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add the white wine and cook until reduced by half, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  7. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a blender and blend in batches, then return it to the pot.
  8. Stir in the heavy cream and dried thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh thyme leaves.

Notes

For a more intense flavor, use a variety of mushrooms. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg for extra depth. Serve with crusty bread for a satisfying meal.
