Indulge in this velvety Creamy French Onion and Mushroom Soup, where sweet caramelized onions and earthy mushrooms create a heartwarming dish perfect for chilly nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium sweet yellow onions
  • 8 oz fresh cremini or button mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1. Caramelize the Onions: Slice the onions thinly. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter and add the sliced onions. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until golden brown (about 20-25 minutes).
  2. 2. Sauté the Mushrooms: Once the onions are caramelized, add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and moisture is released (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. 3. Add Broth and Seasoning: Pour in the broth, add thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
  4. 4. Blend for Creaminess: For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree some of the soup while keeping some chunks for texture.
  5. 5. Finish with Cream: Gradually stir in heavy cream while heating on low until warmed through. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. 6. Serve: Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Pair with crusty bread for an ultimate comfort meal.
