Creamy Mushroom & Rosemary Soup

Print Recipe

A rich and velvety cream of mushroom soup infused with fresh rosemary and made with sautéed vegetables and a touch of cream. Perfect for cozy nights and best enjoyed with crusty bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced
  • 1 carrot, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary (plus extra for garnish)
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and carrots and sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for another 5–6 minutes until mushrooms release moisture and turn golden.
  3. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Slowly pour in the broth, stirring well to avoid lumps. Add the rosemary sprig and bring the soup to a simmer.
  5. Reduce heat and let simmer uncovered for 10–12 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
  6. Remove rosemary sprig. Stir in heavy cream and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring gently.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  8. For a creamier consistency, blend half of the soup with an immersion blender or in batches, then return it to the pot.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with extra sautéed mushrooms, fresh rosemary, and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.

Notes

  • Use a mix of mushrooms like cremini, shiitake, or oyster for deeper flavor.
  • To make it vegetarian, use vegetable broth; for a richer taste, opt for chicken broth.
  • For a fully smooth soup, blend the entire batch instead of just half.
  • Pairs wonderfully with toasted sourdough or a grilled cheese sandwich.
