Print Recipe

A comforting and creamy mushroom soup that invokes warmth and nostalgia, perfect for sharing with family and friends.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups mixed cremini and shiitake mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/3 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Clean mushrooms with a damp cloth, chop into bite-sized pieces, and finely dice the onion and garlic.
  2. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat, add onions and salt, and sauté until softened.
  3. Add the garlic and mushrooms: Stir in minced garlic and then add chopped mushrooms, sautéing until they release moisture and brown.
  4. Incorporate the broth and thyme: Pour in the broth and add thyme, stir, bring to simmer, and let it cook for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Blend for creaminess: Remove thyme sprigs and use an immersion blender to puree to desired consistency.
  6. Add the cream: Stir in the heavy cream, heat gently without boiling, and adjust seasoning.
  7. Serve with flair: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with thyme or a drizzle of cream.

Notes

For a vegan option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and ensure all ingredients are plant-based.
