This soup, made with a delicious combination of butter, olive oil, mushrooms, and a hint of fresh parsley, will warm your soul. It's simple to prepare and packed with flavor, making it an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced cooks.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp butter
30g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1/3 cup mushrooms
72g
1/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
1/3 cup vegetable broth
72g
2 cups water
500g
1/2 bunch fresh parsley
27g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Clean and slice the mushrooms.
- Chop the parsley finely.
2. Cook the Mushrooms:
- In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted and the mixture is hot, add the sliced mushrooms.
- Sauté the mushrooms until they are golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Make the Roux:
- Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed mushrooms.
- Stir constantly to combine, cooking for about 2-3 minutes, until the flour forms a light roux and starts to turn golden.
4. Add the Liquids:
- Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, continuing to stir to avoid lumps.
- Add the water and stir until well combined.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
5. Simmer the Soup:
- Let the soup simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the soup to thicken.
6. Add the Parsley:
- Stir in the chopped parsley.
- Simmer for another 5 minutes to let the parsley infuse its flavor into the soup.
7. Serve:
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary (salt and pepper can be added to taste).
- Ladle the hot mushroom soup into bowls and serve immediately.

Tips:

- Choose a variety of mushrooms for a more complex flavor; cremini, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms are excellent options.

- For a creamier soup, consider adding a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk towards the end of cooking.

- To enhance the umami flavor, you can add a splash of soy sauce or a dash of nutritional yeast.

- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a sprinkle of black pepper for added flavor and presentation.

- Use a hand blender to blend the soup directly in the pot for a smoother consistency, or leave it chunky if you prefer more texture.

This hearty mushroom soup is both delicious and satisfying, making it the perfect dish to enjoy on a rainy day or as an elegant starter for a dinner party. With its rich flavors and simple preparation, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household. Enjoy your homemade mushroom soup!
