Cream of Mushroom Soup
Ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced (white or cremini)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- Sauté Mushrooms:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and become golden brown. Remove some mushrooms for garnish if desired.
- Cook Aromatics:
- In the same pot, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
- Make Roux:
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
- Add Broth:
- Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

- Add the sautéed mushrooms back into the pot. Simmer the soup for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
- Blend or Leave Chunky:
- At this point, you can either blend the soup using an immersion blender for a smooth consistency or leave it chunky, depending on your preference.
- Add Cream and Seasoning:
- Stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
