Creamy Roasted Mushroom Soup

 A big white pot full of chunky mushroom soup on a white kitchen towel with thyme leaves in the background

Creamy Mushroom Soup

This mushroom soup has barely any cream in it, yet is completely creamy and thick, rich and delicious. The mushrooms are tossed with garlic and thyme infused olive oil and roasted, and then added to a soup base of chicken broth and caramelized onions. Packed full of flavor and a real crowd pleaser! Recipe adapted from Damn Delicious.

My husband hates mushrooms. He isn’t a picky eater but those are one of the few things he won’t eat. This makes me sad because, I LOVE mushrooms. But you’ll notice, there aren’t any mushroom recipes on this blog because I aim to please with my cooking. This time though, I was selfish. And I loved it.

Roasting the mushrooms

Typically, mushroom soup starts with mushrooms being sauteed on the stove top. There’s nothing wrong with that, but roasting the mushrooms is a game changer. It really immerses the mushrooms with the flavor of the garlic and thyme, and gives the perfect earthy seasoned base to the soup. It’s super easy to do- just toss the mushrooms with some olive oil that has some minced garlic and thyme sprigs mixed in and roast in a hot oven for 20-30 minutes.

The onions:

Caramelizing the onions will take quite a bit of time. Think 12-15 minutes of occasional stirring. But you don’t need me to tell you how good caramelized onions are and that the subtle sweetness they add to the soup are totally worth the time spent.

The soup base:

You have chicken stock (which you could sub for vegetable stock for an all vegetarian soup), bay leaves and thyme for flavor, and some salt, pepper and nutmeg. That’s it! I find that nutmeg goes really well with creamy sauces, but you are free to use any mixture of herbs that you like.

Storing the soup:

You can store leftover soup for 2 days in the fridge. Freezing after adding the cream isn’t a good idea since this will cause the cream to separate. If you do want make it with the purpose of freezing it, freeze it before adding the cream in the final step, and add the cream once you thaw and reheat it.

I want to say this is the recipe that can convert even mushroom haters, but my husband refused to even try it. Oh well, more for me! Find the recipe below and let me know any thoughts or questions in the comment section!

Ingredients

  • 800 g brown mushrooms (cremini or other)
  • 4-5 tbsp olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 fresh thyme sprigs
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • pinch of nutmeg (optional)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 5 cups chicken stock
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200 C (400F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place mushrooms in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, half of the minced garlic, 4 sprigs of thyme, and some salt and pepper. Drizzle this mixture onto the mushrooms and toss to combine.
  • Roast in the hot oven for 20-30 minutes or until browned and tender, stirring midway through. Let mushrooms cool, then chop coarsely.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and add the diced onion. Cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring until onion is golden and caramelized. Add the remaining garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.
  • Whisk in the flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Stir in water.
  • Add the chicken stock, bay leaves, and the rest of the thyme. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer and simmer for 15 minutes until slightly reduced.
  • Stir in the mushrooms and simmer for another 10 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream.
  • You can either leave the soup chunk, or use an immersion blender and puree to desired consistency.

    Can we replace the chicken stock with vegetable stock to make it vegetarian?

How I spend a lot of my weekends😂. Nothing like How I spend a lot of my weekends😂. Nothing like a big bowl of cookie dough to say weekend mode on! Are you like me and end up eating more dough than actual cookies? My foolproof recipe I use and post time and time again 👇🏼(and often double the batch so I can store some in the freezer!)

Ingredients:
1 stick butter, softened 113 g
3/4 cup tightly packed brown sugar (I like using 1/2 cup light brown and 1/4 cup dark brown, but you can use either or) 150 g total
1/4 cup white sugar 50 g
1 egg, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour 220 g
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
flaky salt for topping, optional

Instructions:
-In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or a handheld mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar for 5 minutes on medium speed until light and fluffy.
-Once five minutes is over, add in egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt, and mix until combined. Add these dry ingredients to the butter mixture on low speed, and mix until just combined.
-Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix in chocolate chips or chunks until just combined. Place bowl of dough in fridge for at least 30 minutes to chill.
-While dough is chilling, heat oven to 180 C (350F). Portion dough out into heaped 1 tbsp-2 tbsp sized dough pieces on parchment paper lined baking sheets. 
-Bake for 11-12 minutes or until golden brown on the edges but still soft in the center. Cool until cookies firm up, then enjoy, still warm.

Adapted from @jedir3waish , makes for an easy delicious main that’ll make your family including kids very happy! Can find a step by step linked bio, or at https://everylittlecrumb.com/macarona/ , or in my story!

INGREDIENTS:
 
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
big pinch of salt
3 heaped tbsp tomato paste, divided 2 oz or 70 g
1 pack elbow macaroni 14 oz or 400 g
1 onion, very finely diced
1 zucchini, finely diced
1 carrot, finely diced
4-5 garlic cloves, minced
250 g ground beef
1 tsp seven spices
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp paprika powder
1/4 tsp basil
1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 can crushed tomatoes 14.5oz (400g)

NSTRUCTIONS
 
Bring a large pot of water to boil, add 1 tbsp olive oil and the salt, one tbsp of tomato paste, then the pack of pasta. Cook until al dente, then drain the pasta, reserving the pasta water. Set cooked pasta aside.

In a large skillet, heat the remaining tbsp of olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion, and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the diced zucchini and carrots, and garlic and cook for a further 4-5 minutes until softened slightly.

Add the ground beef, and cook, smushing with a wooden spoon to break up the meat. Keep cooking until the beef is browned and cooked through, then optionally, drain the fat.
Add in the salt, pepper, and all the spices. Cook for another minute or so. Add the remaining 2 tbsp of tomato paste, and stir.

Add the can of crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, then add a big ladleful of the reserved pasta water and simmer for 2-3 minutes on low heat.

Add the pasta to the sauce (I don't always add all the pasta, maybe 3/4 of the cooked amount until the finished dish is as saucy as I like). Stir to coat, cook for another minute or so until the pasta is warmed through, then enjoy!

Easiest at home crusty bread with a great open cru Easiest at home crusty bread with a great open crumb texture. It’s the no knead bread from @breadin5 and has yet to fail me. Check my story for the step by step, and swipe for a video reveal.

Ingredients for two small loaves:
1.5 cups lukewarm water 
1/2 tbsp any type of yeast
1/2 tbsp salt
3 1/4 cup plain flour (450g)

Method:
In a large bowl, stir together the water with the yeast and salt. Try to dissolve but it’s fine if you have clumps.
2. Add flour all at once and stir, just until no flour patches remain.
3. Cover loosely with a kitchen cloth and leave it to rest for 2 hours in a warm place until risen and bubbly.
After this rest you can:
- Use dough immediately if impatient, but it’s easier to work with if cold, so maybe pop in fridge briefly
- Or, their recommended method and the one I do, leave in the fridge loosely covered for 12 hours or overnight. 
Refrigerated dough lasts up to two weeks, and flavor depends over time!
4. The next day, the dough might look deflated. That’s fine! When ready to bake, divide dough in half (I got two 400g dough balls)- it might be easier to handle if you sprinkle the dough lightly with flour, and take the half you are going to bake out of the fridge. Let it rest on a parchment paper lined baking sheet 40-90 minutes. The longer the more interior bubbles you should have. Preheat oven to 235C (450F), and after rest, make a few deep slashes in the dough with a sharp knife.
5. Place in the middle rack of the oven, and on the bottom rack place a roasting pan that had about a cup of hot water in it. This will create steam which gives a crustier crust!
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until deep golden brown.
7. Let it cool completely before enjoying!

Good morning! With dine in still closed in Saudi, Good morning! With dine in still closed in Saudi, Friday pancakes are fast becoming a tradition. And honestly, I don’t think I’ve had better pancakes at any restaurant recently! The easiest, fluffiest diner style pancakes are a huge hit in our family, find the recipe below adapted from @allrecipes . I like to barely warm the oven (110C or so) and keep the finished pancakes in a pan in the oven until I’m done with all the batter so they stay warm and perfect 👌🏼.

Ingredients
3/4 cup milk 170g
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 cup flour 125g
2 tbsp sugar 25g
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg room temperature
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp butter, melted 28g

Instructions:
-In a large bowl, combine the milk and vinegar, and let aside to stand for 5 minutes until curdled. Whisk to combine.
-In a separate large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
-Add an egg, the vanilla and the melted butter to the buttermilk and whisk to combine.
-Add the dry ingredients all at once to the wet, and whisk until flour patches disappear. A few lumps are fine, but don't over mix.
-Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes while you heat a pan on the stove.
lightly grease the pan with nonstick spray or butter, and pour about 1/4 cup of batter on the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. (Flip the first time once you see bubbles form and the edges of the pancake dry up).
-Enjoy with toppings of your choice!

One of my photos from my shoot @tackle.baks . How One of my photos from my shoot @tackle.baks . How insane does this tom yum soup look? For those who haven’t tried this casual seafood spot yet, you really should! The food is great and priced very reasonably, and they have some menu items I’m obsessed with like their crispy fish burger, the salmon poke salad and the creamy truffle shrimp👌🏼. They currently have a delivery offer going for only 5SAR on HungerStation, so no time like the present! Have I tempted you with this photo of the tom yum soup? I’m hungry just writing this caption🤤.

I wanted to take a really pretty photo of the choc I wanted to take a really pretty photo of the chocolate fondants and post it with the recipe but I gave into peer pressure and am posting the recipe with this horribly lit and not at all beautifully set up video🤷🏻‍♀️. At least the video really demonstrates how gooey and perfect the center of these chocolate lava cakes are, and how unbelievably delicious they are. You won’t believe how easy it is to make these! And you may never order this at a restaurant again! You can even use muffin cups instead of ramekins. Save this recipe for when you want to be extra fancy with your dessert 👩‍🍳 I looked at a bunch of recipes online and compiled my favorite steps from each, this is most influenced from @gordongram 

Ingredients:
For greasing the ramekins:
1 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp cocoa powder

For the fondants:
1 stick butter 115 g
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
170 g chocolate bittersweet chocolate (I used Lindt 70%)
1/2 cup caster sugar or regular sugar
Pinch salt 
3 tbsp flour (41g)
25 g butter melted

Method:
-Spray ramekins with nonstick spray, then dust with cocoa powder and shake until evenly coated, or brush inside of ramekins with melted butter, chill into butter sets, grease again with more melted butter and dust with cocoa powder (Gordon Ramsay’s fancy method)

-Melt together the butter and chocolate over a pan of simmering water (Bain marie ). Set aside melted chocolate to cool for 10 minutes.

-In an electric mixer, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until thick and pale about 3-4 min. Sift in the flour and beat again until mixed.

-Pour melted chocolate into the egg mixture in 3 additions, mixing well between each until combined.

-Pour fondant batter evenly into prepared ramekins. If baking immediately, let them chill in the fridge while you preheat the oven to 200C. You can also store in the fridge for up to two days before baking.

- Bake 10-12 minute or until top just looks set. If using muffin pans, they’ll take less time, 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool 1 minute before inverting onto a plate. Enjoy immediately with vanilla ice cream and berries!
