Description

A rich and creamy mushroom soup made with fresh ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds fresh mushrooms (cleaned and sliced)
  • 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic (peeled and sliced)
  • 4 cups low-sodium broth (chicken, beef or vegetable)
  • 1 ½ cups full-fat milk
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour blend
  • Fresh thyme (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Sautee the 2 pounds fresh mushrooms (sliced) and 1 medium yellow onion (diced) for 8-10 minutes.
  3. Season with salt and pepper, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and stir in the 2 cloves garlic (sliced).
  4. Pour in the 4 cups low-sodium broth and bring the soup to a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 25-30 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, in a large jug, whisk the 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour blend with a bit of the milk until there are no visible lumps. Add in the remaining 1 ½ cups full-fat milk and whisk until smooth.
  7. Once the soup is done cooking, puree with a hand-held blender until smooth.
  8. Add in the milk mixture and return to medium heat.
  9. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the soup has thickened and is nice and creamy.
  10. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if needed.
  11. Garnish with fresh herbs of choice, like fresh thyme, parsley, or oregano.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute full-fat milk with a plant-based alternative.
