Creamy Mushroom Soup Recipe
Every time I have tasted a vegetarian meal I say the same thing. This is good – but it would be so much better with some sort of meat. Italian sausage, ground beef, ground pork, you get the idea.
Chicken, beef, pork, etc. Or even fish. Whatever meat I think would work best for that dish. Eye rolls all around the table whenever I say it but I still say it. This tomato soup might be one exception to the rule, but other than that, I’ll pass on the meatless Mondays.
However, this Creamy Mushroom Soup is definitely being added to the list. It has so much flavor from the mushrooms and marsala wine you totally don’t miss anything at all when you’re eating it.
How To Make Mushroom Soup
The part about this soup that makes it taste so good is browning the mushrooms. You’ve got to let them brown in butter with the onions for a good 15 minutes until they get really dark in color.
That’s where all the flavor is – then pour in marsala wine and let it cook down.
Then the rest is easy – just add in some garlic, chicken broth, salt and pepper, rosemary and a little bit of cream and let it cook for about 20 minutes. Blend it up with a stick blender until it’s smooth and creamy and dig in.
If you want to leave some mushrooms whole just spoon a few out before you blend the soup up – or if all smooth is your thing then blend away.
