Wild Mushroom Soup

A rich and creamy wild mushroom soup featuring a blend of fresh wild mushrooms, herbs, and cream for a comforting and flavorful dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound mixed wild mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and hot.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the sliced wild mushrooms and thyme, cooking until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes to develop flavor.
  6. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth but still slightly textured. Alternatively, carefully blend in batches in a blender.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream and heat through without boiling.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

For a deeper flavor, use a mix of shiitake, cremini, and chanterelle mushrooms. If you prefer a chunkier soup, blend only half the soup and stir in the rest of the mushrooms whole.
