Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent.
  2. Stir in garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for 5–7 minutes until mushrooms are tender and browned.
Building the Soup Base
  1. Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stirring well and cooking for 1 minute.
  2. Gradually stir in the vegetable broth, mixing continuously to prevent lumps. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Finishing and Serving
  1. Remove from heat and stir in the milk.
  2. For a creamy texture, blend with an immersion blender, or leave it chunkier if preferred.
  3. Season with salt and pepper, and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, mix different types of mushrooms. Adjust the consistency by adding more broth or milk if you prefer it thinner. Soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
