Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) fresh mushrooms (cremini or button), sliced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups (950ml) vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until softened and they release moisture (about 5-7 minutes).
- Pour in the broth and stir in desired herbs. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream, allowing soup to thicken. Blend for a smooth consistency if desired. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- To store, let soup cool completely before transferring to an airtight container; it lasts in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For longer storage, freeze in individual portions for up to 3 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
