Had this cream of mushroom soup at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island during a wedding; came home the next day and recreated it to the best of my abilities. After tasting it and then adding the cream, I decided in the future to just remove the cream altogether! It is a fantastic soup that works well on cold winter days.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, divided
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup diced white onion
- 8 ounces portobello mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 8 ounces oyster mushrooms, sliced
- 1 ½ teaspoons dried tarragon
- 3 (16 ounce) cans chicken broth
- 1 large baking potato, peeled and diced into small cubes
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream (Optional)
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Heat 1/4 cup butter and oil in a large pot over medium heat until butter melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Add onion; cook and stir until soft, about 5 minutes. Add remaining 1/4 cup butter, portobello mushrooms, baby bella mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms, and tarragon; cook and stir until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 2
Stir chicken broth, potato, thyme, and oregano into the pot. Bring to a boil; let soup simmer until potato is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 3
Remove soup from heat and puree with an immersion blender until smooth.
Step 4
Return soup to heat and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook’s Notes:
Substitute 2 1/2 tablespoons dried thyme for the fresh thyme if preferred.
