Creamy Mushroom Soup - Hungry Foodie

Description

This Creamy Mushroom Soup is rich and creamy, with the earthy flavors of mushrooms, savory flavors of garlic and onions, combined with the silkiness of heavy cream and a hint of white wine. It is loaded with flavor, but incredibly easy to make.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup white wine (I use this wine)

Instructions

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large dutch oven over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the onions and sauté until they are tender and translucent.
Add the garlic, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Cook until the garlic is fragrant.
Deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping up and mixing in any bits that are stuck to the bottom.
Add the mushrooms and the thyme and cook until the mushrooms are tender and have released their liquid.
Whisk the flour into 1/2 cup of the chicken stock to make a slurry. Whisk until there are no clumps. Mix the flour slurry in with the mushrooms.
Add the remaining chicken stock to the pan, increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low and allow to simmer for 15 minutes.
Mix in the heavy cream and let simmer for 10 additional minutes.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Add Bacon: This is delicious garnished with some crispy smoky bacon.
Make it loaded: Load it up with cheese, sour cream, bacon, and green onions on top.
