Recipe Breakdown
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1/2 large onion, diced
- 20 oz. mushrooms, sliced (any variety you prefer)
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups organic chicken broth
- 1 cup organic heavy cream
- 1 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk
- 3/4 tsp. Pink Himalayan salt
- 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
1. Sauté the Vegetables:
In a large pot over medium heat, heat the avocado oil. Add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms, sautéing for about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally until the mushrooms are lightly browned and the onions are soft.
2. Add Garlic:
Once the onions and mushrooms are ready, add the minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant.
3. Combine Ingredients:
Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, almond or coconut milk, Pink Himalayan salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir everything together to combine well.
4. Bring to a Simmer:
Increase the heat to bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
5. Puree the Soup:
After simmering, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until creamy.
Serve this Creamy Mushroom Soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil, if desired. Enjoy the comforting flavors and creamy texture that make this soup a perfect addition to any mealtime! Whether you’re enjoying it as an appetizer or a cozy main course, this dish is sure to delight your taste buds.
