Creamy Mushroom Brie Soup with Thyme
Creamy, comforting, warm and full of love mushroom soup!
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion diced yellow or white
- 750 grams brown or white mushrooms (quartered or sliced)
- 32 grams butter 2 ½ tbsp
- 20 grams flour 2 ½ tbsp
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tsp fresh thyme removed from sprig
- 4 cup chicken (vegtable) stock
- ½ cup fresh cream or milk
- 140 gram brie cheese cubed (rind removed)
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup water or stock (optional for thinning to desired consistency)
Instructions
- Cut your mushroom into quarters or thick slices. Heat a soup pot on medium-high heat, add in the olive oil and sautee the mushrooms in two batches until nicely browned. Set mushrooms aside.
- In the same pot melt the butter.
- Add in diced onions and sautee until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme, sautee until fragrant, about 1 min.
- Add the flour and stir into the butter-onion mixture until toasted and lightly golden in color (not too much we are just trying to remove the raw flour taste). *check the notes for a keto version*
- Slowly start adding the stock 1/2 a cup at a time while stirring until well incorporated and thickened.
- Once all your stock is in, add in your roasted mushrooms, bring it to a boil then reduce the heat and allow it simmer for 15 minutes on low.
- After 15 minutes, add the cubes of brie and fresh cream, continue to simmer until all the cheese has melted into the soup.
- Add your mixture to a large blender and puree to your desired consistency (we like ours smooth). If your blender can not hold all the liquid, blend in batches.
- Pour the soup back into your pot to keep warm. If the consistency is too thick thin it out with a little bit of stock or water. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with some sauted mushrooms (optional) and thyme leaves, enjoy with a toasted slice of bread.
Notes
*For a keto version, omit the flour and just add the stock to the onion mixture. You might have to add a bit more fresh cream for a thicker consistency but we promise the taste won't be impacted.
