Description

Let us walk you through a few simple steps, and this bowl of potato mushroom soup will be ready in no time!


Ingredients

  • Butter: 2 Tablespoons
  • Onion, Diced: 1 Small Onion or Half of a Large Onion
  • Fresh Mushrooms, Sliced: 5-6 Cups
  • Fresh Garlic, Minced: 2 Cloves
  • Salt: 1/2 Teaspoon
  • Pepper: 1/4 Teaspoon
  • Garlic Powder: 1 Teaspoon
  • White Potatoes, Peeled and Cut into 1/2 Inch Cubes: 4
  • All-Purpose Flour: 3 Tablespoons
  • Chicken Broth: 4 Cups
  • Heavy Cream: 1 Cup
  • Fresh Thyme: 10 Sprigs

Instructions

  1. Sautee: In a medium-sized pot on medium heat, add the butter and the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms have shrunk in size, about 10-15 minutes. Add the fresh garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the potatoes, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and flour and mix until fully incorporated. 
  2. Boil: Add the chicken broth to the pot and turn the heat to high. Bring the pot to a boil and boil for 5 minutes, or until a fork can pierce through the potatoes.
  3. Simmer: Reduce the heat and add the cream and thyme. Simmer for 5-10 minutes. 
  4. Serve: Remove the thyme sprigs from the soup before serving. Top with more fresh thyme and cracked black pepper as desired. 

Notes

You may add the mushrooms and think there are too many, but they will shrink once cooked!

Once you coat everything in flour, you will want to pour the chicken broth in quickly to avoid burning it.

Once you add the thyme sprigs to the hot soup, the tiny leaves will fall off the woody stem on their own. You’ll just need to remove the stem from the soup before serving it, and all that delicious thyme flavor will get soaked up from the leaves left behind.
