Velvety Creamy Mushroom Soup – A Comforting Classic

Print Recipe

This creamy mushroom soup is rich, comforting, and full of savory mushroom flavor. It can be made with or without cream for a classic velvety texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 pound mushrooms, sliced (divided into two batches)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Melt butter and heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 2 minutes until softened.
  2. Add half of the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes until soft and lightly browned. Add the remaining mushrooms and cook until softened.
  3. Stir in minced garlic, then add white wine, vegetable broth, tamari, and thyme. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Allow the soup to cool slightly, then transfer two-thirds of it to a blender and blend until smooth. Stir the pureed soup back into the pot.
  5. Optionally, stir in heavy cream and simmer for 2 minutes to warm through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve topped with fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil or cream, and homemade croutons if desired.

Notes

For a richer soup, add heavy cream at the end and simmer briefly. Cooking mushrooms in two batches promotes better browning and flavor. This soup pairs well with fresh herbs and croutons for added texture.
