Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb mushrooms, sliced Any variety of mushrooms can be used.
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth Use low-sodium broth for better control over saltiness.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can substitute with half-and-half or coconut milk.
  • 2 tablespoons butter For sautéing the vegetables.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Adjust according to personal preference.
  • Fresh parsley for garnish Adds color and freshness to the dish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant for about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and start to brown, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  4. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a countertop blender in batches and blend until silky.
  5. Return the bisque to the heat, stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, and season with salt and pepper. Allow it to warm through for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Ladle the bisque into bowls, garnishing with fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For a lighter version, use half-and-half or coconut milk. Control seasoning carefully and avoid over-salting.
