Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 500 grams Button mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cups Low-sodium vegetable stock
- 1 cup Low-fat milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Add the sliced button mushrooms to the pot and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their juices and begin to soften.
Pour in the vegetable stock and stir in the thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 10 minutes to deepen the flavors.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a countertop blender and blend in batches.
Return the soup to the pot and stir in the low-fat milk (or unsweetened almond milk). Heat gently without letting it boil.
Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if needed.
Serve warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
