Yara's Oven Delighs: Whisking up Delights

Ingredients:

(450g) fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 cups (750 ml) vegetable or chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup (220ml) heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste

Pro Tips:

Mushroom Selection: Use a mix of mushrooms for depth of flavor. Cremini, shiitake, and button mushrooms work well together.

Sautéing Perfection: Sauté mushrooms until golden brown to enhance their natural flavors. Don’t overcrowd the pan; it helps achieve that beautiful caramelization.
Flour Power: Dusting the mushrooms with flour before adding liquid helps to create a silky, smooth texture in the soup.

Creamy Consistency: Blend only a portion of the soup for a varied texture. You’ll get a creamy base with chunky mushroom bits.

Instructions:

Sauté Mushrooms: In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and turn golden brown. Remove a handful for later garnish.

Cook Aromatics: Add chopped onions to the pot. Sauté until onions are translucent.

Create Roux: Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to create a roux. Cook for a couple of minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Add Broth: Gradually pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Finish with Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to heat through.

Serve: Ladle the creamy mushroom soup into bowls. Top with reserved sautéed mushrooms and a sprinkle of fresh thyme if desired.
