Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound sliced mushrooms (cremini, white, or a mix for a more robust taste)
- 1 sliced onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 4 cups veggie stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil (for sautéing)
Instructions
- Melt the Aromatics: In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion, and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until they become aromatic and the onion turns translucent.
- Sauté the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and turn golden brown.
- Boil the Soup: Pour in the veggie stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
- Add Cream: Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to let the cream meld with the broth.
- Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. For a smoother texture, you can blend the soup with an immersion blender, or leave it chunky if you prefer a rustic feel.
Notes
- For a vegan version, replace the heavy cream with coconut cream or cashew cream.
- You can use any type of mushrooms, but a mix of cremini and white mushrooms gives the soup a more complex flavor.
- This soup can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop before serving.
