Category: 15-Minute Meals

15-Minute Mushroom Thyme Soup delivers deep, roasted mushroom flavor fast. Sliced mushrooms brown quickly, giving this simple autumn soup rich taste without long simmering.

Ingredients

• 16 ounces fresh cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 cup milk or unsweetened oat milk
• 1 small shallot, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon whole-wheat flour
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a wide saucepan. First, cook mushrooms and shallot over high heat for 6 minutes until the mushrooms are well browned.
2. Next, sprinkle with flour and thyme; stir for 30 seconds to coat and toast the flour slightly.
3. Whisk in broth and milk, then bring to a gentle simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes so flavors combine.
4. Blend half the soup for a creamy texture, then season with salt and pepper and serve.

15-Minute Mushroom Thyme Soup Notes

Use a wide pan to maximize browning. Because moisture prevents color, avoid overcrowding the pan. Additionally, stirring briefly after adding flour helps prevent lumps.

For a smoother finish, blend more of the soup. Meanwhile, if you prefer a chunkier bowl, skip blending and simply season. Finally, serve with crusty bread or a light salad for a complete meal.

Quick Tips

• First tip: slice mushrooms uniformly for even browning.
• Next tip: choose low-sodium broth to control salt levels.
• For example, use oat milk for a dairy-free option.
