A creamy, garlicky, and herb-infused mushroom soup that’s perfect for chilly fall days. Packed with earthy flavors and comforting richness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 bulb garlic, roasted
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Splash of white wine

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the top off a whole bulb of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  2. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms, diced onion, and a pinch of salt. Cook until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove any raw flour taste.
  4. Gradually add vegetable broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the soup, discarding the skins. Stir to combine.
  6. Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth, or transfer to a blender in batches. Return to the pot.
  7. Stir in heavy cream and fresh thyme. Simmer gently for 5 minutes.
  8. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

[‘Take your time when sautéing mushrooms and onions to build deep flavor.’, ‘Roasting garlic mellows its sharpness and adds sweetness—don’t skip this step!’, ‘If the soup is too thick, add a splash of broth. Too thin? Simmer longer or whisk in extra flour.’, ‘Blend in batches if using a regular blender to avoid splattering.’]
