Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 230 grams Button mushrooms
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1.5 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the butter and olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat until the butter is fully melted.
Add the sliced button mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are softened and lightly golden.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flavor of the flour.
Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 2-3 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Remove the pot from heat.
Optional: Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup for a smoother texture while keeping some mushroom pieces intact.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley (if desired), and serve immediately.
