Equipment
- 1 Wooden Spoon
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoons Butter
- 1/2 Onion
- 1 Cup Mushrooms
- 1/2 Cup Broth
- 1/4 Cup Heavy Cream
- Salt & Pepper
- Xanthan Gum Optional
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Slice the mushrooms and onions, measure out your butter, broth, and cream, and have your salt, pepper, and xanthan gum (if using) on hand. Prepping everything beforehand makes the cooking process smoother.
- Heat your pot over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, toss in the onions and sauté until they’re soft and translucent.
- Add the mushrooms to the pot with the onions and cook until they’re browned and tender—season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour in your broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and let the soup continue to cook for 10 minutes.
- If you’re using xanthan gum, sprinkle a tiny bit into the soup while stirring constantly. This will help thicken the soup without adding any additional carbs or calories.
Notes
- Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor. While canned or dried mushrooms might work in a pinch, fresh ones really make the soup stand out.
- Don’t rush the sautéing process. Giving the onions and mushrooms time to caramelize adds a lot of flavor to the soup.
- If you want a smoother texture, you can use an immersion blender to puree the soup slightly before serving.
