Chef John's Creamy Mushroom Soup

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this creamy goodness:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your creamy mushroom soup:

  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the pot. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. This helps develop the flavors.
  4. After simmering, carefully use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it reaches your desired consistency. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender, but be cautious as the soup will be hot!
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, dried thyme, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the soup through for another 5 minutes.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

This creamy mushroom soup is perfect for any occasion. It pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or a fresh salad. Enjoy making it and savor each spoonful!
