Ingredients

Vegetables and Broth

1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced You can also use dried mushrooms; soak them in warm water before adding.
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

Creamy Ingredients

1 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
3 tablespoons flour (or a gluten-free alternative) You can use cornstarch for gluten-free.

Seasonings

2 tablespoons olive oil
to taste Salt and pepper
for garnish Fresh parsley

Instructions

Cooking

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Toss in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are tender and browned.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well, cooking for a minute to eliminate the raw flavor.
Gradually pour in the broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
Stir in the milk and season with salt and pepper to your taste. Heat without boiling again.
Remove from heat, blend the soup if you prefer a smoother texture, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

For added depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine when cooking the mushrooms. The soup can be made a day in advance and reheated before serving. Freeze leftovers in portions for up to one month.
