This is one of my favorite soups of all time. It is so easy. The secret to this deep, rich soup is a long slow caramelization, the key to unlocking the mushroom's magic. This is just pure essence of mushroom.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup unsalted butter
2 pounds sliced fresh mushrooms
1 pinch salt
1 yellow onion, diced
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, peeled
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves for garnish, or to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat; cook mushrooms in butter with 1 pinch salt until the mushrooms give off their juices; reduce heat to low. Continue to cook, stirring often, until juices evaporate and the mushrooms are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Set aside a few attractive mushroom slices for garnish later, if desired. Mix onion into mushrooms and cook until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 more minutes.
  • Stir flour into mushroom mixture and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes to remove raw flour taste. Tie thyme sprigs into a small bundle with kitchen twine and add to mushroom mixture; add garlic cloves. Pour chicken stock and water into mushroom mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 hour. Remove thyme bundle.
  • Transfer soup to a blender in small batches and puree on high speed until smooth and thick.
  • Return soup to pot and stir in cream. Season with salt and black pepper and serve in bowls, garnished with reserved mushroom slices and a few thyme leaves.

CREAMY MUSHROOM SOUP



Creamy Mushroom Soup image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tablespoons salted butter
1 1/2 pounds mushrooms, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked
1 medium onion, diced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sherry
4 cups vegetable stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
Roughly torn fresh parsley, for serving
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a pot over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted, add a third of the mushrooms to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until dark golden brown, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then remove them from the pot and reserve for serving.
  • In the same pot, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Reduce the heat to medium and, when the butter has melted, add the rest of the mushrooms, along with the garlic, celery, thyme and onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle the vegetables with the flour and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, then cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes, allowing the flour to cook.
  • Slowly pour in the sherry, stirring all the time, then slowly add the stock. Keep stirring to reduce the likelihood of lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced and thickened, about 20 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender, puree until the mushrooms are mostly broken up into small barley-sized bits. (NOTE: You may use a blender, though allow the soup to cool until warm before pureeing.) Add the cream and heat until the pot is simmering. Add the balsamic, then taste and adjust the seasonings.
  • Serve warm in bowls with the reserved mushrooms on top. Garnish with parsley and crusty chunks of warm bread.

BEST EVER MUSHROOM SOUP



Best Ever Mushroom Soup image

This is a simple but warming soup which tastes so good you will never want tinned again! I learned it at school and have cooked it for years, including at sea for 15 hungry sailors who loved it! This soup is hard to get wrong. Don't skimp on the flour and add a little extra milk if it's too thick. Make sure the flour is all incorporated before adding liquid. Use closed cup, button, chestnut, oyster or mixed mushrooms. Using dark gilled or flat mushrooms will make a darker soup.

Categories     Lunch, Soup, Starter, Supper

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

90g butter

1 garlic clove, crushed

Steps:

  • Add the mushrooms and cook over a high heat for another 3 mins until softened. Sprinkle over the flour and stir to combine. Pour in the chicken stock, bring the mixture to the boil, then add the bay leaf and simmer for another 10 mins.
  • Remove and discard the bay leaf, then remove the mushroom mixture from the heat and blitz using a hand blender until smooth.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your soup a more complex flavor. Good choices include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the soup. This will help to bring out their flavor and give them a slightly caramelized texture.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have vegetable broth on hand, you can use water, but be sure to add some extra seasonings, such as salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Don't overcook the soup. The mushrooms should be tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them. Overcooking will make themmushy and flavorless.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your soup.

Conclusion:

Mushroom soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed all year round. It's a great way to use up leftover mushrooms, and it's also a good source of vitamins and minerals. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make a delicious pot of mushroom soup at home.
