Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 tablespoons butter or ghee/olive oil for dairy-free option
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound mixed mushrooms sliced, any variety
For the Soup
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth or chicken broth for non-vegetarians
  • 1 cup cottage cheese opt for full-fat for best texture
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked preferred
For Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Heavy-bottomed pot
  • immersion blender

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté for 4-5 minutes until onion is translucent.
  2. Stir in sliced mixed mushrooms and cook for 8-12 minutes until they release their liquids and turn golden brown.
  3. Pour in vegetable broth and thyme; bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let cook uncovered for 15 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and cool for 2-3 minutes. Use an immersion blender to pulse the soup 4-6 times for a partially chunky texture.
  5. Incorporate cottage cheese and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For a chunkier soup, blend only briefly to retain some mushroom pieces. The flavors deepen when left overnight, making it perfect for meal prep.
