Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and finely chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes or until it becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot.
- Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and release their moisture.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot.
- Pour in the chicken gravy and stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Once the potatoes are tender, remove the pot from the heat.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth. Be cautious of the hot liquid.
- Return the pureed soup to the pot (if you used a blender).
- Stir in the light sour cream until fully incorporated.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil with a few chopped fresh tarragon leaves.
- Stir well and let it sit for a few minutes to infuse the flavors.
- Ladle the creamy mushroom soup into bowls.
- Drizzle a small amount of tarragon oil on top of each serving for a burst of flavor and a beautiful finish.
- Serve hot with crusty bread or your favorite side.
Tips:
- Choose a variety of mushrooms for a more complex and rich flavor profile.
- Cook the onions and garlic slowly over low heat to bring out their natural sweetness and enhance the soup's depth of flavor.
- Blend the soup to your preferred consistency; you can leave some chunks for texture or make it completely smooth for a more refined presentation.
- Drizzle the tarragon oil just before serving to enjoy its fresh aroma and distinct flavor.
- If you prefer a vegan option, substitute the chicken gravy with vegetable broth and use a plant-based sour cream.
Enjoy your delicious cream of mushroom soup with tarragon oil, a dish that's both comforting and elegant. The subtle notes of tarragon add a unique twist to the earthy mushroom flavor, making each spoonful a delightful experience. Pair it with a crusty bread or a light salad to complete your meal.
