Calories: 117kcal
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons salted butter or unsalted works too
- ½ cup white onion finely chopped
- 1 ¼ cup mushrooms finely chopped (use a mix of baby Bella, white button, shiitake, etc.) (~8ish ounces)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup vegetable or chicken stock mushroom stock works beautifully too
- ½ cup milk I like whole milk or half and half for occasions
- ⅛ teaspoon dried thyme
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder or swap with 2-4 cloves garlic and saute with onions
- 1 pinch salt (~⅛ teaspoon)
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- SAUTE: Melt the butter in a medium sized skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and slightly starts to crackle and brown, add the onions. Stir so they get soft and translucent, but do not brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- ADD: Add in the mushrooms and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently so that they don’t burn. The mushrooms should reduce in size and start to brown just a little bit.
- ROUX: Sprinkle in the flour, salt, black pepper, thyme, and garlic powder and allow to cook for 2 minutes.
- WHISK: the mixture as you pour the stock and the milk. Bring to a simmer and cook until the soup thickens, about 5-9 minutes.
- STORE: Remove to a glass jar once cooled or use in a recipe as needed.
Notes
- Store this soup mix in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 1 week or frozen for up to 2 months. To use simply defrost before using in your soup or casserole recipe.
- If you're turning this into mushroom soup, add salt to preference. The recipe contains less sodium so that when being used in another recipes, you can still season as the recipe calls for! Also, when making a soup, make sure to be generous here and thin with both milk and water for the best flavor!
