Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped carrot
  • ¼ cup chopped celery
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 3 cups chopped portabella mushrooms

Liquids and Seasonings

  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 3 cups beef stock
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Dash of red pepper flakes
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Fats

  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: In a stock pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until fully melted and ready for sautéing.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery to the melted butter and cook until translucent, approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to soften them and build flavor.
  3. Add mushrooms and herbs: Stir in the minced garlic, chopped portabella mushrooms, and thyme. Cook on medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to release moisture and the garlic and thyme to infuse the mixture.
  4. Add liquids and seasonings: Pour in the vegetable and beef stocks along with Worcestershire sauce and a dash of red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, stirring gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  5. Simmer the soup: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the soup to develop a rich, savory depth.
  6. Final seasoning and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if desired. Serve the hot soup immediately to enjoy its full flavor and warmth.

Notes

  • You can substitute beef stock with all vegetable stock to make this soup vegetarian, though this will yield a milder flavor.
  • For a creamier texture, blend part or all of the soup before serving.
  • Use fresh thyme for a more pronounced herbal flavor; dried thyme works well and is convenient.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
  • This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
