Shiitake and White Button Mushroom Soup 🍄

Servings: 4
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 oz shiitake mushrooms, sliced (stems removed)
• 8 oz white button mushrooms, sliced
• 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 cup heavy cream or whole milk (optional)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Sauté the aromatics: Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
2. Cook the mushrooms: Add the shiitake and white button mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 8 minutes.
3. Simmer: Pour in the broth and add the thyme. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 12 minutes.
4. Finish: Stir in the cream, if using. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and top with fresh parsley.
