Ingredients

  • 1/2 yellow onion chopped
  • 2 carrots chopped
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary chopped
  • 2 pounds cremini mushrooms de-stemmed cleaned and chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 6 cups broth veggie or chicken
  • kosher salt

Instructions

  • Heat a large pot to medium. Add the olive oil and sauté the onion, carrots and celery with a pinch of salt for 5 minutes. Add the herbs and garlic and sauté 2 minutes more. Add the mushrooms with another pinch of salt and sauté until tender. Add the flour to make a roux. Toss to coat all of the veggies. Cook the roux for about 2 minutes, or until you no longer smell raw flour. Add the broth and 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil then turn immediately to a simmer. Simmer for 45 minutes.
    Use an immersion blender to purée the soup to a smooth consistency, or transfer to a food processor, purée, then pour back into the pot. Check for seasonings and add more salt if needed.
