Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 500 grams Cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh tarragon leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter melts.
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender. Be cautious of the hot liquid.
Stir in the heavy cream and fresh tarragon leaves. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve the soup warm, garnished with additional fresh tarragon and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
