Ingredients
- 280 mL (1 ⅛ cups) white mushrooms
- 280 mL (1 ⅛ cups) cremini mushrooms
- 60 mL (¼ cup) vegetable oil
- 30 mL (2 tbsp) onion, diced
- 30 mL (2 tbsp) garlic, peeled and chopped
- 15 mL (1 tbsp) whole wheat flour
- 250 mL (1 cup) 2% milk or unsweetened fortified plant-based beverage
- 250mL (1 cup) vegetable broth
- 5 mL (1 tsp) fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 60 mL (¼ cup) fresh chives, finely chopped
Directions
Clean and chop mushrooms about 1 cm in size.
In a pan, heat oil on medium heat. Add onion, garlic and sauté for about 3 minutes, or until soft and translucent.
Add the mushrooms and cook for 15 minutes, until they become ⅓ of their original size.
Mix in the flour, milk, and broth. Bring to a simmer while stirring every 5 minutes for 20 minutes.
Once thickened, add the thyme and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Garnish the soup with chives and serve with a slice of whole grain bread.
