Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds fresh mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
4 cups low-sodium broth (chicken, beef or vegetable)
1 ½ cups full-fat milk
2 tablespoons gluten-free flour blend
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

Method

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Sauté 2 pounds sliced fresh mushrooms and 1 diced medium yellow onion for 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and stir in 2 sliced garlic cloves.
Pour in 4 cups low-sodium broth and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 25-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large jug, whisk 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour blend with a bit of the milk until smooth. Add the remaining 1 ½ cups full-fat milk and whisk until smooth.
Once the soup is done cooking, puree with a hand-held blender until smooth.
Add the milk mixture and return to medium heat. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the soup has thickened and is creamy.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Garnish with fresh thyme.

Notes

– For the deepest mushroom flavor, sauté the mushrooms until they release their liquid and then brown slightly, this caramelization is key.
– To achieve an extra silky smooth cream of mushroom soup, pass the pureed soup through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
– Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For reheating, gently warm on the stovetop over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, adding a splash of milk or broth if it’s too thick.
