This is one of my favorite soups of all time. It is so easy. The secret to this deep, rich soup is a long slow caramelization, the key to unlocking the mushroom's magic. This is just pure essence of mushroom.

CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP



Cream of Mushroom Soup image

This soup is super creamy in texture, but it contains no actual cream. The butter and flour mixture -- what's called a roux -- gives it body and silkiness.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced small
1 1/2 pounds chopped cremini mushrooms
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, melt butter over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until they soften and release their liquid.
  • Add flour and cook, stirring, until combined, 1 minute.
  • Whisking constantly, add broth, 1 cup water, and thyme and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, 10 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture to a large bowl and discard thyme. In batches, fill a blender halfway with mixture and puree until smooth; to allow heat to escape, remove cap from hole in lid, cover lid with a dish towel, and hold down firmly while blending. Return soup to pot as pureed.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Thin with broth or water, if desired.
