Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 400 grams Fresh mushrooms (e.g., chanterelles, cremini, or button), sliced
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 750 milliliters Chicken or vegetable broth
- 200 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- none Bread or crackers (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and these juices evaporate, about 8–10 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly coated. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove any raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Stir in the heavy cream, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, but do not let the soup boil.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. For a smoother texture, you can use an immersion blender to purée some or all of the soup, though this step is optional.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh dill, if desired. Serve hot with bread or crackers on the side.
