Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Mushrooms

  • 8 ounces, sliced

Potatoes

  • 2 medium, diced (Russet recommended)

Onions

  • 1 medium, chopped

Garlic

  • 3 cloves, minced

Vegetable Broth

  • 4 cups, low-sodium

Heavy Cream

  • 1 cup

Fresh Herbs

  • 2 tablespoons, chopped (parsley or thyme)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: Begin by heating a tablespoon of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, stirring until they become translucent and fragrant, usually about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add the Mushrooms: Next, toss in your fresh mushrooms. Sauté them until they release their moisture and brown slightly, which should take around 5-7 minutes. This step deepens the flavor of your soup.
  3. Incorporate the Potatoes: Once the mushrooms are nicely browned, add diced potatoes to the pot. Stir to combine and let them cook for a couple of minutes before adding the broth.
  4. Pour in the Broth: Add the vegetable broth to the pot, bringing it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Blend the Soup: For a creamy texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer some chunks, blend only half of the mixture and leave the other half as is.
  6. Finish with Cream and Herbs: Stir in the heavy cream and freshly chopped herbs. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh mushrooms and herbs will enhance the flavor of your soup significantly.
  • Don’t Rush the Sauté: Allowing the onions and mushrooms to caramelize adds depth to the overall taste.
  • Adjust the Creaminess: You can use less cream if you prefer a lighter version.
  • Season Gradually: Taste as you go, adjusting salt and pepper to your preference.
  • Garnish Generously: Adding fresh herbs on top before serving elevates the presentation and taste.
