Delight in the comforting warmth of this creamy mushroom soup, a perfect blend of earthy flavors and creamy texture.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 large onion, diced

  • 2 shallots, chopped

  • 5 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/2 pounds mixed mushrooms, stemmed and sliced

  • 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup dry white wine or Marsala wine

  • 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth or veggie stock

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 beef bouillon cubes, crumbled

  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped

  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

  • 3/4 cup heavy cream

  • Chopped fresh parsley and chives, for garnish

  • Croutons or crusty bread, for serving

Instructions

  • Melt butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Saute the onion, shallots, and garlic until translucent and fragrant, around 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms and cook until they begin to release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour and cook until it absorbs the mushroom juices and no longer tastes raw – about 2 minutes.
  • Pour in the wine, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Simmer until the wine is reduced by half.
  • Stir in the chicken broth, salt, pepper, bouillon cubes, thyme, and rosemary, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Stir in the heavy cream.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with parsley, chives, and croutons.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use a blend of mushrooms like button, cremini, shiitake, oyster, and portobello for a more complex and earthy flavor profile.
  • For a vegetarian version, use veggie stock and replace beef bouillon cubes with vegetable bouillon.
  • The calorie count and nutrition label doesn’t include garnishes.
