Broth Based Mushroom Soup Super Simple Food

EASY 30-MINUTE MUSHROOM VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• To a large Dutch oven or stockpot, add the oil, onion, and sauté over medium-high heat for about 7 minutes, or until onion begins to soften; stir intermittently.
• Add the garlic, stir to combine, and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
• Add the broth, mushrooms, broccoli, zucchini, soy sauce, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, bay leaves, bring to a boil, and allow it to boil for about 10 to 15 minutes or until mushrooms and vegetables have softened.
• Taste soup and add optional vinegars (I added a hefty dose of both), optional sugar, and any additional herbs, salt and pepper, to taste.
• Remove bay leaves and serve immediately.

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!

MUSHROOM SOUP WITHOUT CREAM

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.

DELICIOUS GOLDEN MUSHROOM SOUP WITH BEEF BROTH DAIRY FREE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a 5 quart chef's pan or dutch oven. Add the onions, mushrooms and garlic and saute until soft and just beginning to brown. Turn up the burner to high and add the wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of your pan and reduce for a minute or two until a bit creamy then add the flour, stir to coat the vegetables then add the Beef Broth while stirring. Bring up to a boil while stirring, the soup will thicken slightly (this is not a super thick soup) Then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes or so. Ladle a bit out to adjust the seasoning - some commercial broths can be salty so taste first. Then add your salt and pepper and enjoy! Bon Appetit!
