Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, button), sliced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked

Finishing & Garnish

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until foaming. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking for 4-5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  2. Cook Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for 8-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow the mushrooms to release their liquid and develop golden-brown edges, which enhances the soup’s flavor.
  3. Add Broth and Herbs: Pour in the vegetable broth and add thyme. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes to concentrate the flavors.
  4. Partial Blending: Remove the pot from heat and let the soup cool for 2-3 minutes. Use an immersion blender to pulse 4-6 times to partially break down the mushrooms while keeping some chunks for texture.
  5. Incorporate Cottage Cheese: Add the cottage cheese to the soup and blend for 30-45 seconds until the soup is completely smooth and creamy.
  6. Season and Serve: Season the soup with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use a mix of mushrooms like cremini, shiitake, and button for a depth of flavor.
  • Full-fat cottage cheese gives the best creamy texture, but you can substitute with low-fat if preferred.
  • Be careful not to over-blend; leaving some mushroom texture adds character to the soup.
  • Feel free to add a splash of cream or a drizzle of truffle oil for extra richness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
