Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 large onion, chopped
3 large portabella mushrooms, dark gills scraped out, mushrooms chopped
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
1 bay leaf
6 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Saute the leeks and onions in butter in a large pot over medium heat, stirring constantly, until tender; about 2-3 minutes.
  • Lower heat, add the mushrooms, and cook about 10 minutes longer, covered, stirring occasionally.
  • Raise heat to medium, stir in the flour, and cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the thyme, bay leaf, broth, salt, sugar, and pepper.
  • Simmer, partially covered, for about 10 minutes.
  • Cool the soup slightly; discard the bay leaf; then puree the soup in batches in a blender or food processor.
  • Return the pureed soup to the pan and add the cream.
  • Cook over low heat until just heated through, but do not boil.
  • Adjust seasonings if necessary, and serve garnished with parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose the right mushrooms. Portobello mushrooms are a great choice for this soup because they have a meaty texture and rich flavor. However, you can also use other types of mushrooms, such as cremini or shiitake.
  • Caramelize the onions slowly and patiently. This will bring out their sweetness and add a delicious depth of flavor to the soup.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings. The soup should be flavorful, but not too salty or spicy. Taste the soup as you go and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for this soup include goat cheese croutons, shredded Parmesan cheese, and chopped fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

This caramelized onion and portobello mushroom soup is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover mushrooms. So next time you have some extra mushrooms on hand, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed.
