With this creamy mushroom soup recipe, we want to help you create your own memories with your family and friends.
-INGREDIENTS-
2 lb / 950g-1kg button mushrooms (or creminis, or combination of both)
1 medium-size yellow onion, minced
50 g butter
2 tbsp. flour
2 tbsp. heavy cream
Salt to taste

For garnish:
1 big clove of garlic
3-4 slices of homemade whole-wheat bread, diced
1tbsp. olive oil
3 tbsp. heavy cream, each per a bowl
2-3 branches fresh cilantro, minced

-METHOD-
1. Wash the mushrooms, let them drain, place them in the pot, and add about 1.5 l of water.
2. Bring to boil on high heat, season with salt, then simmer on medium until cooked for about 40 minutes.
3. Transfer the mushrooms into a colander, drain, and keep the broth.
4. In the same pot let the butter melt and add minced onions. Fry until translucent.
5. Add mushrooms, stir well, and continue frying on low to medium heat for 5 minutes.
6. Add the flour and combine well. Pour in the mushroom broth so that it covers the mushrooms for 1 inch. Store the remaining broth in the fridge. It can be used for other meals or to thin the consistency of mushroom soup if desired.
7. Stir everything well so that the flour completely dissolves in the broth making it thick and dense. Let it cook for another 10 minutes to thicken.
8. Check the seasonings and add salt to your liking.
9. Add the heavy cream, give the soup one final stir, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the soup cool down a bit before blending.
10. Cut the bread into cubes. Roast the croutons with sliced garlic and olive oil on low to medium heat stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Let them cool.
11. Blend in the standing blender (recommended) or with an immersion blender. Serve in shallow bowls.
12. Garnish heavy cream, homemade croutons and sprinkle with fresh cilantro (as shown in the video).
