How to Make the Best Creamy Mushroom Soup

Now that you know what’s going into this bowl of goodness, let’s get cooking! Seriously, you’ll be amazed at how simple it is!

Let’s Start Sautéing: In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once that butter is all melted and bubbly, toss in the diced onion. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until it turns translucent, oh, the smell already!
Add the Garlic: Once those onions are just right, add 2-3 minced garlic cloves, stirring occasionally until fragrant (about 1 minute). This is the part where you’ll want to take a deep breath and enjoy the aroma!
Mushroom Time: Now, onto the mushrooms! Toss in your pound of sliced mushrooms and give them a good stir. You want to cook them for about 7-10 minutes until they’re soft and the liquid they release starts to evaporate, such a beautiful transformation!
Add Flour for Creaminess: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the mushrooms and stir, making sure it coats everything. Cook for another minute to cook out that raw flour flavor.
Pour in the Broth: Now, pour in those 4 cups of broth (vegetable or chicken) while scraping the yummy bits off the bottom of the pot. Bring it to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Add Milk & Season: Stir in 1 cup of milk and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes. Now it’s time to season with a couple pinches of salt and pepper, adjusting to your taste!
Blend if Desired: If you want a smoother texture, you can use an immersion blender right in the pot. Or, leave it chunky if that’s how you like it!
Serve Hot: Serve this creamy mushroom soup warm, and top it with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if you’re feeling fancy!
