Spinach and Mushroom Soup
This Spinach and Mushroom Soup is an amazing blend of button mushrooms roasted in groundnut oil with garlic, onions, spiced with black peppercorns and green chilies, made creamy with ragi flour and cashews, making it perfect for the holidays!
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion chopped finely
- 4 cups mushrooms chopped
- 1 cup spinach Sorted, roughly chopped fresh leaves
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 2 teaspoon groundnut oil
- 1 tablespoon ragi flour
- 2 cups water
- 1 small green chili
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 twig cilantro leaves for garnishing
- salt as per taste
Instructions
- Wash and dry mushrooms. Chop them. Chop onions and grate garlic.
- Heat groundnut oil in a pan. Add chopped garlic, green chilies, black peppercorns, and onions, and sauté until they turn golden and fragrant.
- Add sliced button mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms soften. Mushrooms leave water. Once the water dries up, mushroom will shrink. Pls Note I have taken out 2 tablespoon of this sauteed mixture to blend later for making the soup creamy.
- Add ragi flour and roast the mixture on slow flame. Add water as the ragi would soak up all the moisture and sauteed mushrooms might stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Add spinach and cook on slow flame. It will leave water. Once the water is absorbed, spinach leaves would be dark colored and done. Add salt and water.
- Add smooth cashew paste and boil for 4-5 min on slow flame. The soup will started to thicken up.
- The Spinach Mushroom Soup is ready! serve it warm with garlic bread of your choice!
Notes
- Stir the soup after adding ragi flour continuously to avoid lumps in the soup. You may make a slurry for it as well.

You may choose to blend the soup completely unlike me as I have prefer a chunkier texture instead of fully smooth.
