What Ingredients do I Need for Mushroom Soup?

  • 1 cup Mushrooms, White Button ( fresh ) - default
  • 1 handful Onion, Small ( fresh ) - default
  • 1 tsp Ginger, Fresh ( fresh ) - default
  • 1 tsp Garlic, Big Cloves ( fresh ) - default
  • 1 tsp Ghee ( fresh ) - default

Instructions: How to Make Mushroom Soup

  • Sauté Aromatics & Mushrooms
    Heat ghee/oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds; once they sizzle, sauté the onion and ginger-garlic paste until translucent. Add the mushrooms and sauté on high heat until they release their water and start to turn golden brown.
  • Simmer with Broth
    Pour in the broth, turmeric, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes. This allows the mushrooms to infuse their earthy flavor into the liquid.
  • Blend and Season (Optional)
    Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup for a thicker texture, or leave it clear. Stir in black pepper and lemon juice, garnish with coriander, and serve hot.
