🥘Ingredients

Ingredients

2 tbsp butter
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
2 medium potatoes, diced
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste

For Garnish

Fresh parsley, chopped

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat.
2Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
3Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
4Add sliced mushrooms to the pot.
5Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
6Stir in diced potatoes, vegetable broth, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
7Bring the mixture to a boil.
8Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
9Using an immersion blender, blend about half of the soup until smooth.
10This will give the soup a creamy texture while leaving some chunks of potato and mushroom for texture.
11Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the soup is heated through.
12Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
13Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
14Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, creamy flavors.
