This rich and savory creamy mushroom soup is perfect for a cozy night in or an impressive starter for your dinner party. Packed with mushrooms and creamy textures, this soup uses simple, wholesome ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced (about 5–6 cups sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh thyme for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they release their juices and begin to brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir every few minutes for even cooking.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually pour in the broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the milk. Continue to cook until the soup thickens to your desired consistency, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve hot (about 1.5 cups per serving) garnished with fresh thyme.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use vegan butter or extra olive oil, vegetable broth, and coconut milk or cashew cream instead of dairy milk.
  • Feel free to blend the soup for a smoother texture using an immersion blender or regular blender.
  • Adjust the thickness by adding more broth if needed. The soup will thicken as it cools.
  • Use a mix of mushroom varieties like cremini and shiitake for deeper flavor than standard button mushrooms.
