Looking for a simple yet delicious soup recipe that will warm you from the inside out? Look no further than Azie Kitchen's Mushroom Soup! This recipe is perfect for a cozy evening meal or a light lunch.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Sauté the onion and garlic: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
-
Add the mushrooms and cook: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have softened and released their moisture, about 10 minutes.
-
Add the broth and simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
-
Blend the soup: Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (working in batches if needed) and blend until smooth. Alternatively, use an immersion blender to blend the soup in the pot.
-
Stir in the cream: Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Serve and garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor: Use a combination of different mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
- Add a touch of sweetness: Add a teaspoon of brown sugar or maple syrup to the soup for a hint of sweetness.
- Make it vegan: Use plant-based milk instead of heavy cream.
- For a thicker consistency: Add a tablespoon of cornstarch or flour to the soup before blending.
