Ingredients
-
2 tbsp butter
-
1 small onion, finely chopped
-
3 garlic cloves, minced
-
12 oz mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or your favorite)
-
3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
-
1 cup cottage cheese
-
1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
1️⃣ Sauté aromatics: In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
2️⃣ Cook mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release their juices and soften, about 8-10 minutes.
3️⃣ Add broth and herbs: Pour in the broth and stir in thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes to meld flavors.
4️⃣ Blend the soup: Use an immersion blender or regular blender to puree the soup until smooth with a little texture left.
5️⃣ Stir in cottage cheese: Return the soup to low heat and whisk in cottage cheese until creamy and warm. Avoid boiling to prevent curdling.
6️⃣ Season and garnish: Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
