Creamy Mushroom Soup 🍄✨

OUSSA


 

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

  1. In a large pot, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  3. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 2: Cook the Mushrooms

  1. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot.
  2. Sprinkle with thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Cook for 7–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their juices and start to brown.

Step 3: Add Broth and Simmer

  1. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.
  2. Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
  3. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10–15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 4: Blend and Add Cream

  1. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency. For a chunkier texture, blend just half of the soup.
  2. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese (if using). Simmer for another 2–3 minutes until heated through.

Step 5: Taste and Serve

  1. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.
  2. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, a drizzle of cream, or extra Parmesan cheese.
