Description

This mushroom bisque is creamy, comforting, and full of deep, earthy flavor. Perfect for cozy nights or elegant starters.


Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 20 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

1. Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat.

2. Add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until they release liquid.

3. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook 10–15 minutes until liquid evaporates.

4. Add onion, garlic, thyme, and parsley; cook for 2–3 minutes.

5. Raise heat to medium and stir in flour; cook 3–4 minutes until thick.

6. Gradually add chicken broth while stirring to avoid clumps.

7. Stir in heavy cream until fully combined.

8. Transfer soup to blender in batches and blend until smooth.

9. Return soup to pot and simmer on medium-low for 10 minutes.

10. Season with salt and pepper; serve warm.


Notes

Use a mix of cremini or shiitake mushrooms for deeper flavor.

Substitute vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.

For dairy-free, use olive oil and coconut milk.

Let mushroom liquid fully evaporate for the richest taste.

Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest texture.
