Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 500 g Mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 4 cups Vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Whisk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Sauté the chopped onion in butter in a large pot or Dutch oven until softened, then add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth, ensuring there are no lumps, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Reduce heat and let the soup simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste; heat through gently without boiling.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.

Notes

For extra flavor, use a mix of wild mushrooms. Adjust cream quantity to your desired consistency. Freezes well without cream; add cream when reheating.
