Creamy Mushroom Soup
This creamy, yet hardy soup, but can also be used as a base for other recipes like Green Bean Casserole too. I loved the thyme with it, and even the truffle oil made it more decedent. The ladies were huge fans!
- Ingredients:
- 2 pints cremini (baby bella) mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed from stem
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Serve with: (optional)
Toasted Garlic Baguettes/croistini
Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
Truffle Oil
Fresh Herbs: Thyme, Chives, Parsley, etc.
Directions:
In a large pot, heat butter over medium heat. Add onion and saute for about 5 minutes.
Increasing the heat to medium-high and add mushroom. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring until the mushroom have released their liquid.
Add remaining soup ingredients to the pot, except cream. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium and simmer or until the mushrooms are cooked through.

Add cream and warm through. Adjust seasoning.
Transfer half of the soup to a separate bowl/dish. Using the immersion blender, purée half the soup. (It would be easiest to use a blender if you have one, instead the hand blender.)
Combine puréed half and removed half. (note: you can make this chunkier or completely creamy at this stage, just depending on how much of the soup you puree.)
Top soup with any optional toppings. Serve warm.
