Description
This is a fabulous soup, one I would feel thrilled eating on a rainy Sunday evening or holiday. Today, I’m representing my winter favorite: golden mushroom soup. This soup must be loaded with goodness.
It’s a great light meal if you pair it with some bread. I hope you give it a try. It became clear that the two main flavor agents in the original Golden Mushroom soup are beef and tomato.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium-sized yellow onion
- 2 cup mushrooms
- 1 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup (120 ml) tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups of beef stock
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tsp Salt and pepper
- Fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
Instructions
- Sauté the Mushrooms: Cut 2 cups of mushrooms into thin slices. Add one tablespoon of butter and two tablespoons of olive oil to a pot on medium-high heat. Add all your sliced mushrooms and cook until all the moisture is gone and they caramelize.
- Add the Onion: When the mushrooms are dry, add minced yellow onion to the pot. Cook them until fragrant for 1-2 minutes.
- Introduce Tomato Paste: Now add ½ cup tomato paste. Simmer the tomato paste for a short while.
- Thicken the Soup: Add two tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Cook it for another 2 minutes.
- Bring on the Stock: Add 4 cups of beef stock, or you can use chicken stock. Add one tablespoon of paprika. Bring the soup to a boil for 10 minutes. It is ready when the consistency is slightly thicker than water. Stir the soup constantly.
- Season and Taste: Taste this unique golden mushroom soup and season it with salt and pepper according to your preference.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon juice. Golden mushroom soup is ready to serve.
Notes
- Choose mushrooms wisely. Always buy fresh mushrooms for the most desired flavor.
- After adding all-purpose flour, whisk it continuously to avoid lumps and attain a smooth consistency
- You can use beef stock from the store, but I suggest you use homemade fresh beef stock.
- Serve soup fresh and hot. Serve it with bread; it will be a complete meal.
