Featuring a delightful blend of onions, mushrooms, mustard, chicken gravy, and heavy whipping cream, this soup is both creamy and flavorful. It's easy to prepare and can be enjoyed by itself or as a starter to a larger meal. Let's dive into how to make this delectable mushroom soup.

Ingredients:

1 onion
160g
1/3 cup mushrooms
72g
1 tbsp mustard
16g
4 cups chicken gravy
800g
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
120g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Dice the onion finely.
- Slice the mushrooms into thin pieces.
2. Cook the Onion and Mushrooms:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil or butter over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they release their moisture and become tender, approximately 5 more minutes.
3. Add the Mustard:
- Stir in the tablespoon of mustard, ensuring it is evenly distributed among the onions and mushrooms. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to blend the flavors.
4. Incorporate the Chicken Gravy:
- Pour in the 4 cups of chicken gravy.
- Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Blend the Soup (Optional):
- For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency.
- If you prefer a chunkier soup, you can skip this step.
6. Add the Heavy Whipping Cream:
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream.
- Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup is heated through and slightly thickened.
7. Season and Serve:
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.
8. Optional Garnishes:
- Garnish with fresh parsley, a sprinkle of black pepper, or a drizzle of heavy cream for an added touch.

Tips:

- For a deeper flavor, consider sautéing the mushrooms and onions in a bit of butter or olive oil before adding them to the soup.

- If you prefer a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency.

- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme for an added touch of freshness.

- For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken gravy with vegetable broth.

- Add a splash of white wine during cooking to enhance the flavors.

- Season to taste with salt and pepper, and feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg for a hint of warmth.
