Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 8 cups

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter 1 stick
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme finely chopped
  • 1 cup diced potatoes
  • 4 cups veggie broth
  • 1 cup half & half
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 8oz package bella mushrooms bella mushrooms work great for blending, for servings as a soup try a blend of portobello, shiitake, and bella.

Instructions

  • Saute mushrooms, potatoes, and onion in the butter, worcestershire sauce, and thyme until sweating (about 5 minutes.)
  • Add veggie broth.
  • Bring to boil. Turn down to simmer.
  • Simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl mix flour and half and half together.
  • Bring soup to low boil, beat in the flour and half and half mixture.
  • Let thicken for a few minutes then remove from heat.
  • Serve.
  • If using in place of canned mushroom soup, use an immersion blender, food processor, or blender to blend the soup to a creamy texture. Leave bits of mushroom, if preferred.

Notes

If you have an immersion blender I would recommend giving this soup a good blend. Blending this recipe into a bisque is delicious and brings the mushroom flavor out even more!
