Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh mushrooms (your choice: cremini, button, or a mix) Feel free to mix different types for added flavor.
  • 1 each onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or a plant-based alternative) Coconut cream or rich cashew cream can be used for a vegan version.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish For presentation.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, drizzle in the olive oil and toss in the chopped onion. Cook for about 5 minutes, until it becomes translucent.
  2. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Add in the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook down for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and become tender.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let it bubble away for about 20 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and blend if desired for a creamy texture.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

This soup freezes beautifully! Make a double batch for busy days. For a lighter option, almond milk or coconut cream works as a replacement for heavy cream.
