Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 yellow onions (chopped)
  • 2 leeks (only white part) (~1 cup)
  • 3 garlic cloves (chopped)
  • 8 oz brown mushrooms (chopped)
  • 3 cups peeled and cubed potatoes (~10 oz)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 5 cups broth
  • ½ cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1 sprig of fresh thyme (chopped)
  • 1 sprig of fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 sprig of fresh marjoram
  • 1 sprig of fresh lemon balm
  • 1 cup grated parmesan (or nutritional yeast to keep it vegan)
  • ½ cup heavy cream (or a plant-based cooking cream)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot. Sauté the chopped onions and leeks until softened (~3-5 minutes).
  2. Add the mushrooms, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown (about 5 minutes). Stir constantly to avoid burning.
  3. Add the diced potatoes, broth, white wine (if using), and all the fresh herbs. Bring to a simmer. Cover with a lid for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Remove the herbs from the soup. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and heavy cream (if using), allowing it to melt into the mixture.
  5. Taste your soup and adjust seasoning as needed. You might want to add more salt depending on how salted your broth is.
  6. Allow the soup to cool slightly before blending. Using a stick blender or regular blender, blend until you achieve your desired consistency. You can either blend everything smooth or reserve some chunks for texture.
  7. Serve hot with additional Parmesan on top, a drizzle of olive oil, and garnished with fresh herbs.
