Clear Broth Mushroom Soup Recipes

HEALTHY MUSHROOM SOUP

Steps:

• Slightly rinse the mushrooms with cold water to remove any dirt or debris and pat dry with paper towels (do not soak them). Slice half of the mushrooms and roughly chop the other half.
• In a large saucepan, heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook gently for about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, thyme, a good pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring regularly, until the mushrooms start to brown, about 5 minutes. Spoon out 3 tablespoons of mushrooms and keep them for later (if you like to serve the soup topped with saute' mushrooms).
• Stir in the second Tbsp of oil, add the flour and cook, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds to a minute. The flour, the oil and part of the mushroom moisture will form a thick paste called roux that will thicken the broth.
• Add the vegetable broth and stir while returning the mixture to a boil. You want to dissolve all of the flour from the bottom of the pot. After a couple of minutes, as soon as the liquid comes up to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the milk.
• Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes.
• Finally, add the soya sauce and cook for a further minute.Taste and adjust seasoning, as necessary (it depends on the salt content of your vegetable broth)*
• Spoon the soup into bowls, garnish with the remaining mushrooms and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with toasted bread on the side and enjoy!

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a stock pot over medium heat. Add carrots, onions, leeks, and celery. Cook and stir until tender, but not browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in thyme and mushrooms, and continue cooking until mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes.
• Pour chicken stock into the pot, and season with salt and pepper. Cover, and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. Ladle into bowls, and serve with green onions sprinkled on the top.

BROTH BASED MUSHROOM SOUP- SUPER SIMPLE!

Steps:

• Chop or mince onion and green onion.
• Place butter and onions into pan and saute until onions are glazed. (about 5-7 minutes).
• While onions are sauteing roughly chop a few mushrooms into small pieces.
• Add mushrooms to onions.
• Let saute for another 5 minutes or so.
• Add chicken broth and stir, scrapping the bottom of the pan to loosen cooked on bits from the saute process.
• Add a pinch of salt and pepper (more if you like pepper).
• Add remaining mushrooms. Cut some into fourths and others into smaller pieces, as small or large as you want. If you have some really small mushrooms you may even choose to leave them whole.
• Let simmer on medium or medium low heat until you are ready to eat.
• This is great to start and let simmer while you clean, or get some other work done. The longer it cooks the more flavor it will have, but it still taste great even if you just let it cook long enough to soften mushrooms. There really isn't a set simmer time.
