Description

Cottage Cheese Mushroom Soup is a warm, creamy, and nourishing dish made with a blend of savory mushrooms and plant-based cottage cheese. This comforting soup features fresh aromatics, vegetable broth, and fresh herbs for a rich, earthy flavor and smooth texture. Perfect for any season, it can be easily customized with spices, greens, or extra creaminess to suit your taste.

Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms and Vegetables

  • 2 cups mixed mushrooms (cremini, button, shiitake), chopped
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Broth and Herbs

  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Creaminess and Seasoning

  • 1 cup plant-based cottage cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent to build a warm, comforting base flavor.
  2. Cook the Mushrooms: Add the chopped mushrooms to the pot and cook until they release moisture and begin to brown. This process enhances their earthiness and enriches the soup’s depth.
  3. Add Broth and Herbs: Pour in the vegetable broth along with the fresh thyme leaves. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer to allow all flavors to blend harmoniously.
  4. Blend and Add Creaminess: Use an immersion blender to lightly puree part of the soup, thickening the texture while leaving some mushroom pieces intact for a hearty feel. Stir in the plant-based cottage cheese and the natural gelling agent to achieve a creamy and smooth consistency.
  5. Season and Serve: Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well and serve the soup hot, garnished with extra thyme or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Choose fresh mushrooms for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not over-blend; leaving mushroom chunks enhances texture contrast.
  • Simmer gently to develop flavor and prevent toughening mushrooms.
  • Use warm vegetable broth for a smooth cooking process.
  • Add plant-based cottage cheese gradually to adjust creaminess to your liking.
