Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- ½ cup onion diced
- 6 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 ½ pounds mushrooms (750 g, sliced (cremini or mushroom or choice))
- 2 teaspoon thyme (chopped )
- ¾ teaspoon tarragon optional, dried
- ¼ cup marsala wine (or dry red or white wine, optional)
- 4 tablespoon flour
- 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable for vegetarian version)
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream ( or half and half )
Garnish (Optional)
- parsley optional, chopped fresh
- thyme optional, chopped fresh
Instructions
- In a medium sized soup pot on medium heat add the oil and butter until melted.
- Add in the sliced mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms until they are browned and have released all of their liquid, about 8-10 minutes. (Do not be alarmed if the mushrooms release a lot of water. There will be enough water released to cover the bottom of the pot but this will evaporate in later cooking steps.)
- Remove 1 cup of the cooked mushrooms from the pot and set aside (they will be added back in later).
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the onions and the garlic to the pot. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute.
- Add in salt, thyme and tarragon (optional), cook for 1 minute.
- Add the flour to the pot. Stir continuously and cook for 2 minutes.
- Optional: add in the wine and stir until evenly combined. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add in the broth and increase the heat to medium-high. Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender or work in batches with a blender to purée the soup until smooth.
- Add the salt, pepper, cream and reserved cooked mushrooms to the soup. Stir until evenly combined.
- Serve garnished with fresh parsley, thyme and a drizzle of cream (optional). Enjoy!
