Creamy Mushroom Soup 🍄✨

OUSSA


 

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

  1. In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion and sauté for 4–5 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 2: Cook the Mushrooms

  1. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 3: Create the Base

  1. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  2. Gradually pour in the broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

Step 4: Simmer the Soup

  1. Add the thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10–15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 5: Blend for Creaminess (Optional)

  1. For a smooth soup, use an immersion blender to blend until creamy, or transfer in batches to a blender and puree until smooth.
  2. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only part of the soup and leave some mushroom pieces intact.

Step 6: Add the Cream

  1. Stir in the heavy cream and milk, mixing well.
  2. Heat gently over low heat for 2–3 minutes, being careful not to let it boil.

Step 7: Serve and Garnish

  1. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with crusty bread or croutons.
