Ingredients

• 500 grams fresh mushrooms (such as cremini or button mushrooms)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium (finely chopped) onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 750 milliliters chicken or vegetable broth
• 250 milliliters heavy cream
• 100 milliliters dry white wine (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel or rinse briefly under cold water and pat dry. Slice the mushrooms thinly and set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another minute, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown slightly.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the white wine, if using.

Step 7

Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Add the chopped dill, parsley, salt, pepper, and ground nutmeg. Stir well to combine.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the soup is warmed through but not boiling.

Step 10

Serve the soup hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh dill or parsley, and enjoy with crusty bread on the side.
