Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon butter
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb sweet onion, peeled, cut in half, cut thin crosswise
1 lb portabella mushroom, cleaned, cut in slices
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups chicken stock (a little more may be required to thin soup if too thick)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried herbes de provence
1 small bay leaf
1/2 cup half-and-half
4 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese
4 ounces swiss cheese, grated
salt and freshly-cracked black pepper, to taste
minced fresh parsley (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and saute, stirring every few minutes, until they are caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Add the mushrooms, celery, carrot, garlic and salt, and saute, stirring occasionally, for a further 5 minutes. Add chicken stock, thyme (or herbes de provence) and bay leaf to saucepan. Reduce temperature to a slow boil and cook, covered, for 15-20 minutes longer, or until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat. Discard bay leaf.
  • (Carefully) blend soup in batches, either in blender, or using immersion blender, until soup is mostly pureed, leaving a bit of texture in the vegetables. Return to saucepan and over a low heat, whisk in half and half, ricotta and swiss cheeses, until cheeses have entirely melted into the soup. (If soup is too thick, thin with a little more hot broth). Season to suit your taste with salt and freshly-cracked black pepper.
  • Serve in deep bowls, garnished with a sprinkle of minced, fresh parsley.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

This soup is the perfect way to use up leftover mushrooms. I always have a few in the fridge and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I loved this soup. The caramelized onions and cream really mellowed out the mushroom flavor.

This soup is so versatile! I've made it with different types of mushrooms and even added some leftover roasted chicken. It's always delicious.

I added a bit of chopped fresh thyme to the soup and it really enhanced the flavor. I also served it with a side of crusty bread for dipping.
