Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Provides richness and flavor; can use olive oil for a lighter option.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Enhances flavor and aids in sautéing vegetables; substitute with vegetable oil if desired.
  • 1 medium Onion Adds sweetness and depth; substitute with shallots for a milder taste.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Infuses a fragrant, savory element; use garlic powder if fresh isn't available.
  • 8 cups Mushrooms (sliced) Core ingredient providing umami flavor; a mix of mushrooms adds texture and variety.
  • 2 tablespoons Flour Thickens the soup; replace with gluten-free flour or cornstarch for a gluten-free version.
For Flavoring
  • 4 cups Broth (vegetable or chicken) The base providing flavor; opt for low-sodium to control saltiness.
  • 1 cup Milk Adds creaminess without heavy cream; almond or soy milk can be used for a dairy-free option.
  • Salt Essential for seasoning; adjust to taste for your perfect balance.
  • Pepper Essential for seasoning; adjust to taste for your perfect balance.
