Creamy Mushroom Soup is a comforting, earthy dish made with sautéed mushrooms, aromatic vegetables, broth, and cream, delivering rich flavor and velvety texture perfect for cozy meals.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb fresh mushrooms (cremini, button, or mixed), sliced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter or olive oil
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: grated cheese, crusty bread for serving

Instructions

  1. Clean and slice the mushrooms. Set aside.
  2. In a large pot, heat butter or oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in mushrooms and cook until browned and moisture has evaporated, about 8–10 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir well. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
  6. Gradually add broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  7. Add thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10–15 minutes to develop flavor.
  8. Reduce heat and stir in cream. Simmer another 5 minutes until heated through.
  9. Optional: blend part or all of the soup for a smoother texture.
  10. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and optional cheese or bread.

Notes

  • Use a variety of mushrooms for depth of flavor.
  • For vegan version, use olive oil, plant-based cream, and vegetable broth.
  • Blending is optional; leave some mushrooms whole for texture.
  • Soup thickens as it cools; add broth or cream to adjust when reheating.
  • A splash of white wine can add complexity—deglaze before adding broth.
