Print Recipe

This Creamy Mushroom Soup is a rich and comforting dish made with fresh mushrooms, herbs, and cream. It’s perfect as a starter or a cozy main meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pound (450g) mushrooms, sliced (cremini, button, or a mix)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups (1 liter) vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes.
  6. Gradually pour in the broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
  7. Add thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  8. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth (or leave some texture, if preferred).
  9. Stir in the heavy cream and heat through without boiling.
  10. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use plant-based butter and cream.
  • Blend only half the soup for a chunkier texture.
  • Serve with crusty bread for a hearty meal.
