  • 3 medium potatoes Peeled and diced to create a hearty, filling element.
  • 1 cup fresh mushrooms Sliced (like cremini or button) for an earthy taste.
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth Acts as the flavor-packed liquid that ties everything together.

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Once the butter is bubbling and fragrant, add 1 finely chopped medium onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and soft.
  • Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for an additional minute.
  • Next, add 3 peeled and diced medium potatoes along with 1 cup of sliced fresh mushrooms to the pot. Stir well to combine.
  • Pour in 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil.
  • Once boiling, season with 1 teaspoon of dried dill, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper.
  • Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot, allowing the soup to simmer for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency.
  • Gently stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and heat the soup gently over low flame.
  • Taste your soup and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each serving with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

Use the freshest vegetables and mushrooms for the best flavor and texture. Cool and store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to enjoy the same cozy taste later.
