A rich and velvety creamy wild mushroom soup that combines earthy wild mushrooms with garlic and fresh herbs for a perfect cozy comfort meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz wild mushrooms mix (shiitake, cremini, oyster)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped (or dried thyme)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, alternative to butter)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Clean wild mushrooms gently with a damp paper towel and slice into roughly 1/4-inch thick pieces.
  2. Heat butter and olive oil together over medium heat in a large pot. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, avoiding browning.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms and thyme, stir to coat with butter and oil. Cook until mushrooms release moisture and start to brown, about 10 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir well. Cook for 2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.
  6. Slowly add vegetable broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
  7. Using an immersion blender, puree about half the soup until smooth but still slightly textured. Alternatively, blend half in batches and return to pot.
  8. Stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Heat gently for 3-5 minutes without boiling.
  9. Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

If soup is too thick, add extra broth or cream to loosen. If too thin, simmer uncovered to reduce. Avoid overcrowding mushrooms to ensure browning. Blend only half the soup for texture. Season gradually to taste.
