Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped yellow onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent browning.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. This will help thicken the soup.
Gradually whisk in the chicken or vegetable stock, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Once simmering, lower the heat slightly and let the soup cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the heavy cream, whole-grain mustard, and Dijon mustard. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Simmer for 2-3 more minutes until the soup is heated through and slightly thickened.
Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to blend the soup if you prefer a smoother consistency, or leave as is for a chunkier texture.
Serve the mustard soup hot in bowls, garnished with chopped fresh chives if desired.
