Directions

  1. In a large pot on high heat, sauté the onions in oil stirring frequently until the onions caramelize, about 8 minutes. Add splashes of water as needed to deglaze the pot.
  2. Once the onions are lightly caramelized, add the garlic and sauté until lightly golden. Reduce the heat slightly if needed.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients to the pot, except for the mushrooms, bring to a gentle boil for 5 minutes.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-high and add the mushrooms. Allow to simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked.
  5. Using an immersion blender, blend some of the soup but allow some chunks to remain. Alternatively, use a standing blender, in which case blending about half of the soup is recommended.
  6. Taste test, add more pepper if desired, plate, garnish, and serve while hot.

Storage

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Getting better from a cold and wanted some soup for comfort food. I bought mushroom soup two days ago and was craving it but didn’t wanna spend another $15 for 2 servings. This tasted better than the soup I bought and although I didn’t have vegetable cubes, I just used water and it tasted amazing!!! I’ll be making this all winter for sure

Hi Sadia , where can i buy the mushroom boullion cubes? I live in germany, so the Netherlands are an option...
Thanks and greetings Michaela

Greetings, Michaela! Thank you for the question - we've just updated the recipe to state vegetable bouillon cube instead of mushroom bouillon cube, as it's easier to find and just as delicious to use. In case you'd still like to use mushroom bouillon, Albert Heijn has their own house brand of mushroom bouillon, and Eko Plaza in the Netherlands has a powdered form in a jar. I hope this helps!
