Recipes for "cream of mushroom soup"

Heat olive oil on medium high heat in a 5 to 6 quart thick-bottomed pot. When the oil is hot, swirl in the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the mushrooms, stir to coat with the olive oil and butter.

Cook the mushrooms on medium high heat until they are lightly browned and have released most of their water, about 10 minutes.

Remove 1 cup of the cooked mushrooms from the pot and set aside (they will be added back in later).

Reduce heat to medium. Add the minced shallots and the garlic to the pot, stir to combine, cook for about a minute.

Add the salt, dried tarragon, and the stock to the pot. Increase the heat to medium high, bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Using an immersion blender or working in batches with a standing blender, purée the soup until smooth.

Then return to the pot. (If the soup is too thick for you, add some water or more stock to thin the soup to the desired level of thickness.)

Whisk the cream into the soup and add the black pepper. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the reserved cooked mushrooms.

Gather all ingredients.

Simmer mushrooms, stock, onion, and thyme in a large heavy saucepan until vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

Carefully transfer the hot mixture to a blender or food processor. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse until creamy but still with some chunks of vegetable.

Melt butter in the same saucepan. Whisk in flour until smooth. Whisk in salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in half-and-half and mushroom mixture.

Bring soup to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.

Stir in sherry. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.

1. Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the shallots and garlic, cook until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes or until golden, stir and continue cooking until the mushrooms have caramelized, 3-5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, sage, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until very fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the balsamic vinegar. Spoon out a handful of the mushrooms for topping, if desired. Add the 4 cups broth, season with salt and pepper.

2. Transfer about 3/4's of the soup to a blender and pulse until smooth and creamy. Return the soup to the pot with the remaining soup. Stir in the cream and cheese. Season the soup with salt and pepper. Simmer the soup for 5-10 minutes until warmed through, adding the addition 1-2 cups broth as need to thin the soup.

3. Meanwhile, make the bread. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. On a baking sheet, toss together the bread, olive oil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until toasted.

4. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with garlic herb bread and reserved mushrooms.

Melt butter in the pot of a multi-functional electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) set to Saute mode. Add mushrooms and saute for 3 minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant. Slowly pour in chicken stock and bring to a boil while scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pot.

Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 3 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build. Meanwhile, mix cream and flour together in a bowl to form a slurry.

Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Pour slurry into the soup; stir to combine.

Switch pot to Saute mode. Stir until soup is slightly thickened. Add garlic salt, thyme, and pepper.
