Now that we’ve explored the ingredients and benefits of making creamy mushroom soup in your Instant Pot, let’s dive into the simple, step-by-step recipe.
1 lb mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster), sliced
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth
2 cups of heavy cream
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Sauté the Vegetables:
In your Instant Pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
Cook the Mushrooms:
Add the sliced mushrooms and thyme leaves to the Instant Pot. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and softened.
Deglaze with Wine:
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Add the Broth:
Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, stirring to combine. Lock the lid in place, set the Instant Pot to “soup” mode, and cook for 20 minutes.
Blend the Soup:
Once the cooking time is up, release the pressure and remove the lid. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a blender in batches.
Add Cream and Season:
Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the soup over medium heat until hot.
Serve and Garnish:
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes:
For a heartier version, you can add diced carrots, celery, or potatoes to the Instant Pot before cooking.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
