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
1. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add chopped onion and garlic and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the sliced mushrooms, stir to coat, and cook for 8–10 minutes until tender and caramelized.
3. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir continuously for 2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
4. Slowly pour in the broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer.
5. Simmer for 15–20 minutes to thicken the soup and develop flavor.
6. Stir in the heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for another 5 minutes.
7. Remove from heat. Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley.
8. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers.
Notes
Use a mix of mushrooms for deeper flavor.
For a smoother texture, blend part or all of the soup with an immersion blender.
To make it vegetarian, use vegetable broth and ensure cream is plant-based if needed.
