Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms & Vegetables

  • 4 cups mixed mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids & Dairy

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup cottage cheese

Seasonings & Garnish

  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until they’re fragrant and softened, approximately 3-5 minutes.
  2. Cook the mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and sauté them until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 10 minutes. This step deepens their flavor.
  3. Simmer the soup: Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and add 1 teaspoon of thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 15 minutes to meld the flavors together.
  4. Blend for texture: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup partially or fully to achieve your desired consistency, whether slightly chunky or smooth.
  5. Add cottage cheese: Stir in 1 cup of cottage cheese until it is fully incorporated and the soup becomes creamy.
  6. Season and serve: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving to add a bright, fresh note.

Notes

  • You can substitute the vegetable broth with chicken broth if preferred.
  • For a vegan version, replace butter with olive oil and cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative.
  • Adjust blending time for chunkier or smoother soup texture based on preference.
  • Leftover soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
