Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they have released their liquid and are golden brown, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes.
-
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
-
Slowly pour in the broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Stir in the heavy cream and let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Remove the soup from the heat and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it reaches your desired consistency. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth. Be cautious as the soup will be hot.
-
Return the soup to the pot and reheat gently. If the soup is too thick, you can add more broth or cream to reach your desired consistency.
-
Ladle the cream of mushroom soup into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
