Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon butter
- 1 pound cremini mushrooms sliced
- 1 large onion diced
- 2 celery stalks diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 8 medium russet potatoes peeled, chopped into ½" cubes
- 4 cups low sodium vegetable or chicken stock
- 2 cups milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped, (optional, for garnish)
- cheddar cheese grated, (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- In a large stock pot or Dutch oven, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat until it's foamy but not browned.
- Add the mushrooms, onion and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and mushrooms are browned, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and Italian seasoning. Cook for another minute.
- Add the vegetable broth or chicken broth and the potatoes. Bring to a gentle boil. Cover and cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the milk and bring to a simmer.
- Remove from heat and stir in the parsley, if using.
- Serve hot, topped with grated cheese.

Notes
- Sauté the mushrooms well. Don’t crowd the mushrooms in the pan and let them brown fully to release their flavors.
- Make it vegetarian. Just use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Make it dairy-free. Use a neutral oil instead of butter and plant-based milk like oat, almond, or rice milk.
- Blend it. You can use an immersion blender or a high-speed blender to create a creamier, thicker soup.
- Add a splash of white wine. Deglaze your pot with a little bit of white wine for a nice acidity that balances the richness of the soup.
- Add protein. Add cooked chicken, turkey, or sausage. Tofu, lentils, or chickpeas work well if you want a plant-based option.
- Use a different cheese for garnish. Other melty cheeses that work well in this soup include parmesan, gruyere, and fontina.
- Top with fresh herbs. A sprinkle of fresh parsley, thyme, or chives before serving brightens up the creamy soup base.
- Storage. Transfer cooled soup into an airtight container and refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days.
- Reheating. Reheat the soup on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave oven at 50% power to prevent the creamy broth from separating.
