Earthy mushrooms and creamy cottage cheese come together in this rich, high-protein soup. Vegetarian and gluten-free comfort food at its best.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups mixed mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup cottage cheese, small curd
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, saute until fragrant and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
  2. Add sliced mushrooms and saute until they release moisture and start browning, about 10-12 minutes.
  3. Pour in vegetable broth, add thyme, and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Use immersion blender to partially or fully blend soup to desired consistency.
  5. Remove from heat, let cool 2-3 minutes, then stir in cottage cheese until smooth and well incorporated.
  6. Adjust salt and pepper to taste, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use a mix of mushroom varieties for complex flavor. Cremini and shiitake work especially well together.
  • Don’t rush the mushroom browning step – it develops the deep, earthy flavor that makes this soup exceptional.
  • Let soup cool slightly before adding cottage cheese to prevent curdling and ensure smooth texture.
