Simple to prepare with loads of flavour… A delicious creamy mushroom soup in less than 30 minutes, perfect for your Soup Day…!!
I love mushrooms, so does my husband. But we often use it as a side dish or an appetizer, and this was my first soup with mushrooms. Whenever we invite friends over to our house, most of our dishes end up being non-vegetarian and it so happened once that my husband suggested a soup for a change, preferably vegetarian, something which we have not made in a while. That’s how I ended trying this out, but unlike the plain/clear soup versions I thought to give it a creamy twist, and it turned out to be pretty good.
I wanted to make a pure vegetarian version of this recipe, and so I have used water instead of chicken stock which is commonly preferred, and it still tasted delicious.
- 8 baby bella mushrooms
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ of a yellow / white onion (sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (chopped)
- 1-2 tbsp flour
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup water
- parsley leaves (chopped, optional)
- pepper (as required)
- salt (as required)
-
Wash and clean mushrooms, pat them dry. Slice into small pieces.
-
Heat butter in a pan, add sliced onions and garlic. Saute until the raw smell subsides and the onions become soft.
-
Add sliced mushrooms, salt and pepper and saute well. Close the lid and cook for 1 minute.
-
Combine with flour on low heat, stir, then add water and mix well.
-
Fold in heavy cream and stir well, heat until it starts to thicken up.
-
Check seasoning and garnish with parsley leaves (optional).
-
Serve warm with bread.
Do not overcook the onions nor allow it to turn brown.
I followed this recipe and Akhlia..it was yummylicious!! The right blend of flavors for a rainy day!!
Yay! Thank you Namitha chechi!!! So glad you enjoyed them..:-)
I don’t understand how a quarter of a cup of water and a half a cup of cream is going to make enough soup for 3 people
Thank You Mike for pointing out the mistake. I have updated the recipe. Enjoy..!
I gave to watch my carb intake closely. In one part of the recipe it says 2 servings then in another it says 3 servings. Akhila could you please clarify this? Thank you so much! The soup looks delicious! I look forward to making it!!
Akhila in one part of the recipe it says it makes 3 servings while in another part it says 2 servings. I have to monitor my carb intake closely so could you please clarify this. I look forward to making your recipe. It looks delicious!! Thank you for posting it!
Hi Norma, Sorry for the delayed response as I was away a few days for Thanksgiving vacation.
The recipe is for 2 servings, earlier there was a mistake in the recipe which I had corrected a week ago. I hope you are not looking at any cached / old version of my post, if so please refer my updated recipe on the site.
Thanks for visiting Pepper Delight, Hope you enjoy preparing this recipe..!
