Button Mushroom Soup Recipe

Directions for Making Button Mushroom Soup

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Clean the button mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.

2. 2

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once melted, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Cook the Mushrooms

   Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown, about 8-10 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the Broth

   Pour in the vegetable broth and add salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.

5. 5

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth.

6. 6

   Add Cream and Madeira

   Return the blended soup to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream and Bual Madeira. Heat gently without boiling.

7. 7

   Garnish and Serve

   Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm.
